On the occasion of which I am thinking I recall distinctly how I said to her that there was enough suffering in one narrow London lane to show that God did not love man, and that wherever there was any sorrow, though but that of a child, in some little garden weeping over a fault that it had or had not committed, the whole face of creation was completely marred. I was entirely wrong. She told me so, but I could not believe her. I was not in the sphere in which such belief was to be attained to. Now it seems to me that love of some kind is the only possible explanation of the extraordinary amount of suffering that there is in the world.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Oscar Wilde" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/oscar-wilde/i-remember-talking-once-on-this-subject-to-one-of-the-most-beautiful/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ba1/oscar-wilde-16_beauty_i-remember-talking-once-on-this-subject_42172.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ba1/oscar-wilde-16_beauty_i-remember-talking-once-on-this-subject_42172.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ba1/oscar-wilde-16_beauty_i-remember-talking-once-on-this-subject_42172.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I remember talking once on this subject to one of the most beautiful personalities I have ever known: a…” — Oscar Wilde", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“By the time she had finished, her hand was in Elizabeth's firm clasp again.

Elizabeth would understand what it would be like to be a captive, to have one's freedom taken away, and then, as a final indignity, to have one's very body invaded and used for the pleasure of one's captor. Another woman would understand the monumental inner battle that had had to be waged every single day and night to cling to that something at the core of herself that was herself, that gave her identity and dignity.
