She put both her hands on his shoulders and gazed at him long, with a deep look of ecstasy and yet searchingly. She scrutinized his face to make up for the time she had not seen him.

He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.

"All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

Slavery results from laws, laws are made by governments, and, therefore people can only be freed from slavery by the abolition of governments....

He felt like a man who, after straining his eyes to peer into the remote distance, finds what he was seeking at his very feet. All his life he had been looking over the heads of those around him, while he had only to look before him without straining his eyes. p 1320

The role of the disappointed ...

The role of the disappointed lover of a maiden or of any single woman might be ridiculous; but the role of a man who was pursuing a married woman, and who made it the purpose of his life at all cost to draw her into adultery, was one which had in it something beautiful and dignified and could never be ridiculous.
