Quote by Edna St. Vincent Millay

If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday -- so much is true.

If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love

Summary

This quote highlights the fickleness and unpredictability of love. It suggests that love can change from one day to another, and that the absence of love on one day does not diminish the reality of love experienced on a different day. It emphasizes that love is not bound by consistency or expectation, and that it is a fluid and ever-changing emotion that cannot be controlled or demanded.

I am, I must confess, suspicious of those who denounce others for having too much sex. At what point does a healthy amount become too much? There are, of course, those who suffer because their desire for sex has become compulsive; in their case the drive (loneliness, guilt) is at fault, not the activity as such. When morality is discussed I invariably discover, halfway into the conversation, that what is meant are not the great ethical questions but the rather dreary business of sexual habit, which to my mind is an aesthetic rather than an ethical issue.

Girls, like men, want to be petted, pitied, and made much of, when they are diffident, in low spirits, or in unrequited love. These are services which the weak cannot render to the strong and which the strong will not render to the weak, except when there is also a difference of sex.

After some cogitation, it is difficult not to agree with Herman Bondi (1919 - 2005), who in his book 'Relativity and Common Sense' says:... The surprising thing, surely, is that molecules in a gas behave so much as billiard balls, not that electrons behave so little like billiard balls.
