William Shakespeare - Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments . Love is not love

which alters when it alteration finds

or bends with the remover to remove

oh , no ! It is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

whose wort's unknown, although his height be taken

Love's not tome's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

With his bending sickle's compass come

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks

But bears it out even to the edge of doom

If this be error and upon me proved

I never write , nor no man ever loved.

    Ladies of the leisure class, nine out of ten gentlemen love money, and the rest are true love, hurry up and marry, working people have no time for love. The rural grass field in the film is really good. 【2011.12.30/China Film Archive】

    Is love a fantasy or a feeling, no, she is pure and true eternity, she is not like a gorgeous flower that will wither and die when it leaves the branches of youth, she can grow carefree in a barren land without needing to use it. Sweet words to drive away sadness.

Sense and Sensibility quotes

  • Charlotte Palmer: To think! We can see his insufferable house from the top of our hill. I shall ask Jackson to plant some very tall trees.

    Mr. Palmer: You will do nothing of the sort.

  • Mrs. Dashwood: We're so happy that you chose to invite Edward to Norland. He's a dear boy. We're all very fond of him.

    Fanny: We have great hopes for him. Much is expected of him by our mother with regard to his profession.

    Mrs. Dashwood: Naturally.

    Fanny: And in marriage. She's determined that both he and Robert will marry well.

    Mrs. Dashwood: Of course. But I hope she desires them to marry for love.

    Fanny: Love is all very well, but unfortunately we cannot always rely on the heart to lead us in the most suitable directions. You see, my dear Mrs. Dashwood, Edward is entirely the kind of compassionate person upon whom penniless women can prey. And having entered into any understanding, he would never go back on his word. He's simply incapable of doing so, but it would lead to his ruin. I worry for him so, Mrs. Dashwood. My mother has made it perfectly plain that she would withdraw all financial support from Edward should he choose to plant his affections in less... exalted ground than he deserves.

    Mrs. Dashwood: I understand you perfectly.
