Quote by Bette Davis

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone -- but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.

Summary

This quote suggests that while love is vital and essential in a relationship, it cannot be the sole basis for its durability. Love serves as the foundation upon which a relationship is built, but it should be accompanied by other qualities and factors that contribute to its strength. Love alone may be too malleable and flexible to withstand challenges and complexities, hence the need for additional pillars such as trust, communication, and commitment to establish a more sturdy and lasting structure.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.Much of your pain is self-chosen.It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears.
