love. She must stop confusing the
different meanings Of the word. She
must define love in all of it's ways,
choose the kind she would have, and
accept no other.
Whenever a woman thinks that
life is ,defraUding her Of the wonder
full love of which she is worthy, it is
time for her to ask herself what she
herself means by love, and what she
demands of love.
If she is being cheated, it is often
because in her great eagerness to
grasp at any love, she has not stop
ped to distinguish between drOss and
gold; or because she herself has
offered more of the alloy than of the
pure metal
We get out of life what we put into
it, say the philosophers. And we get
out of love truth for truth, passion
for passion, lying for hypocrisy, and
for vanity only repentance and grief.
