"The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer." ― Havelock Ellis Topic(s): Music More From Havelock Ellis "Every artist writes his own autobiography." "Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?" "Education, whatever else it should or should not be, must be an inoculation against the poisons of life and an adequate equipment in knowledge and skill for meeting the chances of life." More In Music "The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives – the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself."― Norman Cousins "There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."― George Byron "A widow’s refusal of a lover is seldom so explicit as to exclude hope."― Samuel Richardson
