Famous quotes containing the words love and/or lack:
“The older woman’s love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover’s eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grassblade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“In the lack of judgment great harm arises, but one vote cast can set right a house.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
