One can lie, but truth is more interesting.
Dead news like dead love has no phoenix in its ashes.
But I had been in love pretty often and I didn't think it stood the wear and tear.
Pity is exhaustible. What a terrible discovery!
After forty years of marriage we still stood with broken swords in our hands.
As for death, one gets used to it, even if it is only other people is death you get used to.
