Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.

Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.

I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.

When I read Shakespeare I am struck with wonder that such trivial people should muse and thunder in such lovely language.

The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.

Lies About Love We are all liars, because The truth of yesterday becomes a lie tomorrow, Whereas letters are fixed, and we live by the letter of truth. The love I feel for my friend, this year, is different from the love I felt last year. If it were not so, it would be a lie. Yet we reiterate love! love! love! as if it were a coin with fixed value instead of a flower that dies, and opens a different bud.

The great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman. The man embraces in the woman all that is not himself, and from that one resultant, from that embrace, comes every new action.
