I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.

And I refused to make any sacrifices; for nothing on earth seemed more valuable than my peace of mind, my pleasure and my acclaim.

It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.

I'm not full of virtues and noble qualities. I love, but I love strongly, exclusive, stedfasty.

You don't have to write to me if you don't feel like it. There's no real friendship without absolute freedom.

No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.

Young love needs dangers and barriers to nourish it.
