If I could have two things in one: the peace of the grave, and the light of the sun.

And all the loveliest things there be come simply, so it seems to me.

it may be said of me by Harper & Brothers, that although I reject their proposals, I welcome their advances.

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.

Night falls fast. Today is in the past.

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.

Death devours all lovely things.
