From "The Moon and Sixpence"
"There is no cruelty greater than a woman's to a man who loves her and whom she does not love; she has no kindness then, no tolerance even, she only has an insane irritation."
An odd quote for Thanksgiving Day, but none ever truer.
On a positive note, each of us should be thankful to have that capacity to love...and the strength at times to sustain such love in the face of such indifferent cruelty. On the flip side, the woman would hopefully appreciate that, despite such cruelty, she is still redeemed in the eyes of the aspiring lover. It is foolish, it is masochistic, but it is real.
Happy Thanksgiving!
