Love Quote by Susannah York

"I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world"

About this Quote

There is a kind of disarming candor in Yorks phrasing: luck, life, love, all treated as shareable goods rather than trophies. Coming from an actress whose public identity was built on being watched, the line subtly flips the usual celebrity script. Instead of performing romance as spectacle, she frames it as distribution: a private surplus she wants to hand out. Luck isnt just something that happens to her; its something she feels responsible for, almost obliged to circulate. That word choice makes the sentiment less like a Hallmark declaration and more like a moral posture.

The simplicity is doing strategic work. York doesnt dress the feeling in irony or cleverness; she offers it as plain speech, which is often the most radical move for someone trained to deliver dialogue with polish. "Id like" softens the claim, keeping it human-sized. Its not destiny or eternal truth; its a present desire, a moment of openness. Then she lands on the absolutist beat - "the best thing in the world" - the kind of hyperbole we usually distrust, except here it reads as earned because it arrives after humility, not before it.

Contextually, York came of age in an era that demanded women be both luminous and contained. This quote resists containment by insisting on abundance. Love is not a weakness or a distraction from ambition; its a source of energy she wants to share. The subtext is generous, but also quietly defiant: joy belongs in public speech, even when the culture expects you to be guarded.
