To find love some day—there was a fit ambition for every human heart! But how often it was pushed aside by greed, by cynicism, by selfishness, by fear—by any number of cold and worldly things! – Burton E. Stevenson, The Kingmakers, “Chapter XIX: Selden Takes an Inventory,” 1

Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia. – Judith Viorst, Redbook, 1975
