People have a right to be shocked; the mention of unmentionable things is a kind of participation in them.
The old know what they want; the young are sad and bewildered.
If you are losing your leisure, look out! You are losing your soul.
One can be bored until boredom becomes a mystical experience.
The ladies who try to keep their beauty are the ladies who lose it.
Hearts that are delicate and kind and tongues that are neither - these make the finest company in the world.
