Quote by Mercedes Lackey
The great love is gone. There are still little loves - friend to friend, brother to sister, student to teacher. Will you deny yourself comfort at the hearthfire of a cottage because you may no longer sit by the fireplace of a palace? Will you deny yourself to those who reach out to you in hopes of warming themselves at your hearthfire?
Summary
This quote urges us to embrace and appreciate the smaller, more intimate forms of love that exist in our lives. While the grand, sweeping love may have disappeared, there are still meaningful connections to be found in friendships, sibling relationships, and mentorships. It challenges the idea that we should reject comfort and companionship just because it may not come in the same lavish or extravagant form that we may desire. Instead, it encourages us to be open-hearted and welcoming to those who seek solace and warmth from us, regardless of our circumstances.
