Quote by Tuckerman

No man flatters the woman he truly loves.

No man flatters the woman he truly loves.

Summary

This quote suggests that genuine love does not involve flattery. If a man truly loves a woman, he will not feel the need to constantly appease or compliment her in an insincere or exaggerated manner. True love is based on honesty, loyalty, and the acceptance of each other's flaws. Flattery, on the other hand, typically aims to manipulate or gain favor from someone. Therefore, this quote implies that authentic love is not about trying to impress or win someone over through flattery but rather about genuine connection and mutual respect.

I used to think if you fell from grace it was more likely than not the result of one stupendous error, or else an unfortunate accident. I hadn't learned that it can happen so gradually you don't lose your stomach or hurt yourself in the landing. You don't necessarily sense the motion. I've found it takes at least two and generally three things to alter the course of a life: You slip around the truth once, and then again, and one more time, and there you are, feeling, for a moment, that it was sudden, your arrival at the bottom of the heap.

I couldn't have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother's death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation.
