Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.

A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.

Marriage is a tyranny, a mortification of man's natural instincts. Man needs a multiplicity of relationships.

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.

One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake. You have stopped yourself. You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment... If you have to make a mistake, it's better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. If I had the opportunity again, I would take chances.
