«Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection.

The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.»
