Time, like money, is measured by our needs.

I wish always to be quoted as George Eliot.

We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder to feed our supreme selves

A blush is no language; only a dubious flag - signal which may mean either of two contradictories

The memory has as many moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama.

Sympathetic people often don't communicate well, they back reflected images which hide their own depths.

I don't mind how many letters I receive from one who interests me as much as you do. The receptive part of correspondence I can carry on with much alacrity. It is writing answers that I groan over.
