She prayed to God to give him at least a moment so that he would not go without knowing how much she had love him despite all their doubts, and she felt an irresistible longing to begin life with him over again so that they could say what they had left unsaid and do everything right that they had done badly in the past. But she had to give in to the intransigence of... Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Elbert Hubbard quote: "The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along..."
The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher. Elbert Hubbard

Jane Austen quote: "Shall I ask you how the church is to be filled, if a man is..."
