“But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And, constant stars, in them I read such art,
As truth and beauty shall together thrive
If from thyself to store thou wouldst convert;
Or else of thee I prognosticate,
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.”
― William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets

“Grief's only ever as deep as the love it's replaced.”

― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way
