I may tell you it is not a small token that a woman loveth when she giveth unto her lover her beauty, which is so precious a matter; and by the ways that be a passage to the soul (that is to say, the sight and the hearing) sendeth the looks of her eyes, the image of her countenance, and the voice of her words, that pierce into the lover's heart and give a witness of her love.Thomas Hoby
About This Quote
A woman's love for a man is so valuable, so precious, so valuable. The love for a man is so precious because the woman loves with her heart, not just her body. She gives her lover everything she has. Love is more valuable than any other virtue or asset in the world.
Love has the power to kill, but it also has the power to heal. It can break us, but can also fill us with strength. Love is our greatest strength.
