More quotes by Karen Blixen
God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.
The best of my nature reveals itself in play, and play is sacred.
The entire being of a woman is a secret which should be kept.
Human talk is a centrifugal function, ever in flight outwards from what is on the talker's mind.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
