There were lovely things in the world, lovely that didn't endure, and the lovelier for that... Nothing endures.

About This Quote

There were lovely things in the world, lovely that didn't endure. It was a world where it was all too easy to give your heart away and one day discover to your sorrow that it cannot be returned. Everything in the world is a gift to us from a higher wisdom, but we have no right to hold on to anything unless we have been given the gift from the gods.
