Marguerite Yourcenar quotes

" Men who care passionately for women attach themselves at least as much to the temple and to the accessories of the cult as to their goddess herself. " # Infatuation # Love # Passion

" The memory of most men is an abandoned cemetery where lie, unsung and unhonored, the dead whom they have ceased to cherish. Any lasting grief is reproof to their forgetfulness. " # Memory # Friends and Friendship # Grief
