You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.

Here I have opportunity enough for the exercise of my talent, as the chief of my time is spent in conversation.

One cannot have too large a party. A large party secures its own amusement.

A lucky guess is never merely luck. There is always some talent in it.

All the privilege I claim for my own sex ... is that of loving longest, when existence or hope is gone.

My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.
