- "The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life." -- Sir Hugh Walpole
Exciting wonder or surprise; astonishing; wonderful.
- I went to a marvellous party last week.
