But as his wife - at his side always, and always restrained, and always checked - forced to keep the fire of my nature continually low, to compel it to burn inwardly and never utter a cry, though the imprisoned flame consumed vital after vital - this would be unendurable. Anonymous
About This Quote

A person's love for another is a reflection of the love that they have inside. If a person feels that their love is never strong enough, they may think that their love is not worth anything. However, if they feel that their love is always strong and constant, it means that their love for another is more than enough to make them happy.
