People will do the basest things on account of their so-called honour. - T. H. White

Falling in love is a desolating experience, but not when it is with a countryside

It was well for him, with his chivalry and mysticism, to make the grand renunciation. But it takes two to make love, or to make a quarrel. She was not an insensate piece of property to be taken up or laid down at his convenience. You could not give up a human heart as you could give up drinking. The drink was yours, and you could give it up: but your lover's soul was not you own: it was not at your disposal; you had a duty towards it.

It is good to put your life in other people's hands.
