The Love of the Nightingale Quotes

“We begin here because no life ever has been untouched by war.

____ The Love of a Nightingale”
― Timberlake Wertenbaker, The Love of the Nightingale

“Love, stealing with grace into the heart you wish to destroy, love, turning us blind with the bitter poison of desire, love come not my way. And when you whirl through the streets, wild steps to unchained rhythms, love, I pray you, brush not against me, love, I beg you, pass me by.”
― Timberlake Wertenbaker, The Love of the Nightingale
