"A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else."

Previous Quote

Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it. The great general is only terrible to the enemy; the great poet is frequently scolded by his wife; the children of the great statesman clamber about his knees with perfect trust and impunity; the great actor who is called before the curtain by admiring audiences is often waylaid at the stage door by his creditors.

— L. Frank Baum
