Summary

In this quote from Shakespeare's play "Henry IV, Part 1," Glendower claims he can summon spirits from the deep. Hotspur mocks him by saying that anyone can make such a claim, but questions whether the spirits would actually come when summoned. This exchange reflects skepticism towards supernatural abilities and challenges Glendower's ability to deliver on his bold assertion. It highlights the theme of distinguishing between actual power and mere empty words.

Don't you know that love isn't just going to bed? Love isn't

Don't you know that love isn't just going to bed? Love isn't an act, it's a whole life. It's staying with her now because she needs you; it's knowing you and she will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures -- when all that's on the shelf and done with. Love -- why, I'll tell you what love is: it's you at seventy-five and her at seventy-one, each of you listening for the other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over.
