The duration of love in a being always depends upon the loved one. I create an emotion in you, as you create one in me. You do not create it in yourself.

No one can control his emotion of love for a woman ... the sentiment he feels, I mean, but the strong man controls the demonstration.

All the legislation in the world will not abolish kissing.

It's that quality possessed by some which draws al others with magnetic force. With 'IT' you win all men if you are a woman–and all women if you are a man. 'IT' can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction.

Whatever will bring in the most money will happen.

how much better to make no vow; then at least when the cord of attraction snaps, we can go free, still defying the lightning in our untarnished pride.

Everything is 'colossalized' - events, fortunes, accidents, climate, conversation, ambitions - everything is in the extreme ... They can't even have a tram run off a line, which in England or France might kill one or two people, without its making a holocaust of half a street full. ... The thing which surprises me is they should still employ animals of normal size; one would expect to see elephants and mammoths drawing the hansoms and carts!
