“Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short.

“People who shout joy from the rooftops are often the saddest of all.”
― Milan Kundera, The Joke

“St John Rivers: What will you do with all your fine accomplishments? Jane Eyre: I will save them until they're wanted. They will keep.”
