“Oh how warm it makes one to know that there is one person in the world to whom one is everything. A lover is the most precious, the most marvelous possession.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, Fraulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther

“But of what use is it to be whitewashed and trim outside, to have pleasant creepers and tidy shutters, when inside one's soul wanders through empty rooms, mournfully shivers in damp and darkness, is hungry and no one brings it food, is cold and no one lights a fire, is miserable and tired and there's no chair to sit on?”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, Fraulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther

“The mediator between head and hands must be the heart!”
― Thea von Harbou, Metropolis

“Isn't it a mercy that we never get cured of being expectant? It makes life so bearable. However regularly we are disappointed and nothing whatever happens, after the first blow has fallen, after the first catch of the breath, the first gulp of misery, we turn our eyes with all their old eagerness to a point a little further along the road.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, Fraulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther
