Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink And rise and sink and rise and sink again Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
My candle burns at both ends it will not last the night but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Please don't think me negligent or rude. I am both, in effect, of course, but please don't think me either.

I do not think there is a woman in whom the roots of passion shoot deeper than in me.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
