A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences.

Guy de MaupassantIt is better to be unhappy in love than unhappy in marriage, but some people manage to be both.
Guy de MaupassantThe secret is not to betray your ignorance. Just maneuver, avoid the quicksands and obstacles, and the rest can be found in a dictionary.
