Passionate love, I take it, rarely lasts long, and is very troublesome while it does last. Mutual esteem is very much more valuable.
Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.
Easy reading requires hard writing.
I am not fit to marry. I am often cross, and I like my own way, and I have a distaste for men.
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
My belief of book writing is much the same as my belief as to shoemaking. The man who will work the hardest at it, and will work with the most honest purpose, will work the best.
