“True lovers may never know what love means. A man may love a woman out of his reach. She does not know he loves her, and he will never speak of it.”
Rosalind Miles, Isolde, Queen of the Western Isle

“To face a man in combat is challenge enough. To find the goddess in a woman is the life work of a man. Hard though the first may be, the second is the harder longer road. But every man seeks the woman of the dream, and only the best of men finds what he seeks.”

“No other woman had that air of spring in January, that ever-bubbling fount of love and hope.”
Rosalind Miles, The Child of the Holy Grail
