nature has not changed. The night is still unsullied, the stars still twinkle, and the wild thyme smells as sweetly now as it did then ... We may be afflicted and unhappy, but no one can take from us the sweet delight which is nature's gift to those who love her and her poetry.

The more you lose the right to be jealous, the more so you become!

You, stupid one, who believe in laws which punish murder by murder...

Ever since time began the world has seemed stupid to those who aren't stupid themselves. It was to avoid that annoyance that I became stupid myself, as fast as ever I could. Sheer egoism, no doubt.

Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

It is always the best friends who are neglected and ignored.

The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
