Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously.
Charles Dickens
To know for an hour you were mine completely --Mine in body and soul, my own --I would bear unending tortures sweetly, With not a murmur and not a moan. A lighter sin or a lesser error. Might change through hope or fear divine; But there is no fear, and hell has no terror, To change or alter a love like mine.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
