More From Daphne Du Maurier

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

For my first wedding, i cried all the way down the aisle. my fake eyelash came off. my nose was red. my eyes were swollen. i'm not one of those pretty criers.

I cried in english, i cried in french, i cried in all the languages, because tears are the same all around the world.

Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. one starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. i read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy i used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.

In shape they were like horrible toads, and moved in a succession of springs, but in size they were of an incredible bulk, larger than the largest elephant. we had never before seen them save at night, and indeed they are nocturnal animals save when disturbed in their lairs, as these had been. we now stood amazed at the sight, for their blotched and warty skins were of a curious fish-like iridescence, and the sunlight struck them with an ever-varying rainbow bloom as they moved.

I will love you always. when this red hair is white, i will still love you. when the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, i will still want to touch your skin. when your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise i have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,i will treasure you all the more, because i was there to see it all. i will share your life with you, meredith, and i will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine.

My desire is to stand by the fire that burns inside of you.

There is always something left to love.

Only god knows how much i love you.

How different things might be if, rather than saying "i think i'm in love," we were saying "i've connected with someone in a way that makes me think i'm on the way to knowing love." or if instead of saying "i am in love" we say "i am loving" or "i will love." our patterns around romantic love are unlikely to change if we do not change our language.
