Love itself draws on a woman nearly all the bad luck in the world
The end is nothing; the road is all.
Art and religion (they are the same thing, in the end, of course) have given man the only happiness he has ever had.

It is easy to pity when once one's vanity has been tickled.
The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.
