Only out of stir and change is born new salvation. To deny that is to deny belief in man, to turn our backs on courage!

Additional quotes by John Galsworthy

Love is no hot-house flower,
but a wild plant, born of a wet night,
born of an hour of sunshine; sprung
from wild seed, blown along the road
by a
wild wind.
