"We are made up of everything we have ever been, Percy. It is the joy and the pain of our individuality. There are no two of us the same."

Individuality

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"One longs and longs to be grown up, doesn't one?,' she said, 'I dreamed of being eighteen and having a Season and meeting handsome gentlemen even apart from Dominic and falling in love with them and marrying him and living happily ever after. But life is not nearly as that simple when one finally does grow up."

Maturity

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"Did she ever feel nostalgia for any of her girlhood dreams? But life was made up of a succession of dreams, some few to be realized, most to be set aside as time went on, one or two to persist for a lifetime. It was knowing when to abandon a dream, perhaps, that mattered and distinguished the successful people in life from the sad, embittered persons who never moved on from the first of life's great disappointments. Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all."

Maturity

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"Did everyone make the most ghastly blunders at regularly intervals through their life and live to regret them ever afterward? Was everyone's life filled with confusing and contradictory mix of guilt and innocence, hatred and love, concern and unconcern, and any number of other pairings of polar opposites? Or were most people one thing or the other - good or bad, cheerful or crotchety, generous or miserly, and so on."

Contradiction

Mary Balogh
"And so silence and ...darkness hold happiness and joy?' he said softly.'Assuredly,' she said, 'provided one listens to the silence and gazes deeply into the darkness. Everything is there. Everything."

Silence

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"She had made reason and common sense her gods. She had allowed people who did not know what she knew or understand what she unstood to be her mentors."

Learning

Mary Balogh
"It is stronge how smells can bring back vivid memories."

Memory

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"But marriage is forever.'Oh, not really,' he assured her. 'Only until one of us dies.'Her eyes widened. 'I do not want you to die,' she said.'Perhaps you will go first,' he said, 'though I rather think I hope not. I would probably have grown accustomed to you by then and would miss you."

Relationship

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"And I need you, my love,' he said. 'I need you so much that I panic when I think that perhaps I will not be able to persuade you to come back with me to Enfield. I need you so much that I cannot quite contemplate the rest of my life if it must be lived without you. I need you so much that-Well, the words speak for themselves. I need you.'To look after Augusta?' she said. She dared not hear what he was surely saying. She dared not hope. 'To look after Enfield? To provide you with an heir?'Yes,' he said, and her heart sank like a stone to be squashed somewhere between her slippers and the parlor carpet.'And to be my friend and my confidant and my comfort. And to be my lover."

Devotion

Quote_1.png
Mary Balogh
"Always guarding one's real, precious self in a cocoon of tranquility within a thousand masks.Life itself had become a secret affair."
