Quote

"Of course, in a novel,
people’s hearts break, and they die, and that is the end of it; and in a
story this is very convenient. But in real life we do not die when all
that makes life bright dies to us. There is a most busy and important
round of eating, drinking, dressing, walking, visiting, buying, selling,
talking, reading, and all that makes up what is commonly called living,
yet to be gone through..."
