how sad and bad and mad it was - but then, how it was sweet
Robert Browning
Success in marriage is more than finding the right person: it is being the right person.
Robert Browning
Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving Unless you can die when the dream is past- Oh, never call it loving!
Robert Browning

A lion may die of an ass's kick.
Robert Browning
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
Might she have loved me? just as well She might have hated, who can tell!
Robert Browning
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so life's business being just the terrible choice.
Robert Browning
Smiling the boy fell dead.
