Love Is Like the Stars

"'Liking is very pleasant and very cheap. Love is as rare as a star.'

'I thought stars were anything but rare, uncle.'

'That's because you never went out to find one for yourself, Katey. They would prove a few miles apart then.'

'But it would be big enough when I did find it.'

'Right, my dear. That is the way with love.'"

-George MacDonald, The Grey Wolf and Other Stories, 117
