Additional quotes by Zoë Akins

I know not where I go; I scarcely feel The menacing fatigue about my feet, The skies that scourge, the distances that cheat, the constant wounds that never hurt nor heal.

So much do I love wandering, So much I love the sea and sky, That it will be a piteous thing In one small grave to lie!

No one can ever help loving anyone.
