Quote by Madeleine L'Engle

Love can't be pinned down by a definition, and it certainly can't be proved, anymore than anything else important in life can be proved.

Love can't be pinned down by a definition, and it certainly

Summary

This quote suggests that love is an elusive and abstract concept that cannot be fully explained or proven. Love is seen as something that transcends definitions and rational explanations, much like other significant aspects of life. It highlights the intangible nature of love and emphasizes that it is experienced rather than proven or quantified. Just as it is impossible to provide concrete evidence for the importance of certain things in life, love too remains subjective and unexplainable in its entirety.

Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.
