Thornton Wilder Quotes About Lifetime

Quotes about: Lifetime

• Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.

  Thornton Wilder

  Love, Heartbreak, Dog

  Thornton Wilder (2009). “The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Other Novels, 1926-1948”

• She had never realized any love save love as passion. Such love, though it expends itself in generosity and thoughtfulness, though it give birth to visions and to great poetry, remains among the sharpest expressions of self-interest. Not until it has passed though a long servitude, though its own self-hatred, though mockery, though great doubts, can it take its place among the loyalties. Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.
