In the face of its truth, humanity has for centuries tried to discover in itself evidence that love is the greatest force on earth." Id. at 1. "Everything takes its accustomed course even when life is at its most terrible, and people know, they always know, but life goes on and the excuses for doing nothing other than going on with it are made." Id. at 319.).
