I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.
I want to be left alone.
It is bitter to think of one's best years disappearing in this unpolished country.
I always look well when I'm near death.
When one has not long to live, why shouldn't one have fancies?
Perhaps it's better if I live in your heart, where the world can't see me. If I'm dead, there will be no stain on our love.
