“I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.” ― George Eliot

Adrienne, I’m so glad you explained your photo choice as I couldn’t understand why not a pic of George Eliot – Mary Anne Evans. But it makes sense as an illustration of someone waiting for that moment of contact. And aren’t all of the men so handsome!
