Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

Summary

This quote, often credited to the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, expresses the sentiment of overwhelming love and the desire to quantify it, even though love is immeasurable. It suggests that one's love is so profound that it cannot be grasped fully, and yet the speaker is willing to enumerate various ways to attempt to comprehend the depth and extent of their affection. It exemplifies the incomprehensible nature of love and the desire to express it, even when words fall short.

My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?'

I count it happiness,Ere we go quickly thither whence we came,To gaze ungrieving on these majesties,The world-wide sun, the stars, water and clouds,and fire. Live, Parmeno, a hundred yearsOr a few months, these you will always seeand never, never, any greater things.Think of this life-time as a festivalOr visit to a strange city, full of noise,Buying and selling, thieving, dicing stallsAnd joy parks. If you leave it early, friend,Why, think you have gone to find a better inn:You have paid your fare and leave no enemies.
