Lost Love


"Love is never lost."- Washington Irving


Washington Irving was a famous early American author. He wrote many familiar stories such as The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle. He was born in New York City but has a local tie to West Virginia. His local tie is the former Washington Irving High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia which is now a part of Robert C.Byrd High School. Although it is not a high school it has kept the WI name and is now a middle school.

I picked this quote because of his local tie to the area. I knew of him being a famous author but didn't know of some of his lesser known quotations.

I like this quote because it keeps the hope that if you have loved and lost, that you can still love agin.
