More Quotes from Hugh Walpole:
Don't play for safety - it's the most dangerous thing in the world.Hugh Walpole
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom ones relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
Hugh Walpole
I believe the root of all happiness on this earth to lie in the realization of a spiritual life with a consciousness of something wider than materialism in the capacity to live in a world that makes you unselfish because you are not overanxious about your own comic fallibilities that gives you tranquility without complacency because you believe in something so much larger than yourself.
Hugh Walpole
Happiness comes from... some curious adjustment to life.
