"Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink  Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;  Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink  And rise and sink and rise and sink again;  Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,  Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;  Yet many a man is making friends with death  Even as I speak, for lack of love alone." - Edna St Vincent Millay

"Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink And rise and sink and rise and sink again; Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone." - Edna St Vincent Millay
