You swore you loved me, and laughed and warned me that you would not love me forever. I did not hear you. You were speaking in a language I did not understand. Never, never, I can conceive of a love which is able to foresee its own termination. Love is its own eternity. Love is in every moment of its being: all time. It is the only glimpse we are permitted of what eternity is. So I did not hear you. The words were nonsense.
Thornton WilderThere is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
Thornton WilderLife is a fatal adventure. It can only have one end. So why not make it as far-ranging and free as possible.
