Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.

There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.

It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one's environment.
