In the spring mornings I would work early while my wife still slept. The windows were open wide and the cobbles of the street were drying after the rain.

In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.

Dying is a very simple thing. I've looked at death and really I know. If I should have died it would have been very easy for me. Quite the easiest thing I ever did. But the people at home do not realize that. They suffer a thousand times more.

I am so in love with you that there isn’t anything else.

People fall in love, but have to climb out.

Everything is on such a clear financial basis in France. It is the simplest country to live in. No one makes things complicated by becoming your friend for any obscure reason. If you want people to like you you have only to spend a little money. I spent a little money and the waiter liked me. He appreciated my valuable qualities. He would be glad to see me, and would want me at his table. It would be a sincere liking because it would have a sound basis. I was back in France.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
