"A man of the best parts and greatest learning, if he does not know the world by his own experience and observation, will be very absurd, and consequently very unwelcome in company.

We have felt love that confused us and love that seemed to clarify everything. We’ve known the love of family and or friends and we have loved our pets and been loved back just as surely as night turns to morning.
