"Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it." ― Boris Pasternak Topic(s): Marriage More From Boris Pasternak "I come here to speak poetry. It will always be in the grass. It will also be necessary to bend down to hear it. It will always be too simple to be discussed in assemblies." "I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn’t of much value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them." "Art has two constant, two unending concerns: It always meditates on death and thus always creates life. All great, genuine art resembles and continues the Revelation of St John."

If only it were that simple."― William Taylor
