fiction is founded on truth....unless things did happen,people couldn't think of them.

It is deplorable...to remove all the romance - all the mystery!

Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he's in love with her.

The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first - safety; sanctification gives us the second - soundness.

Jealousy, you know, is usually not an affair of causes. It is much more-how shall I say?-fundamental than that. Based on the knowledge that one's love is not returned. And so one goes on waiting, watching, expecting...that the loved one will turn to someone else.

if you ask me, nobody really likes people who are always doing their duty.

One knows so little. When one knows more it is too late.
