Kindle Notes & Highlights
She would not brook his authority if he wielded it like a hammer, only when he waved it like a flower-wand.
‘When someone does too much, it is a sign they are trying to dazzle your eyes with generosity and blind you to reality. Remember the saying – the deceiver is twice as polite as anyone else.
‘They say that eyes that are too beautiful turn blind, and love that is too deep gets broken.’
There’s nothing like love to keep a man, and nothing like love to drive him away too. You need to know which kind keeps him and which drives him away. And no tears. What good are tears? They make eyes which should droop with love puffy. Who can enjoy a weeping woman?’
A blind man only sees darkness everywhere.’
