My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.

If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.

You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?

Since Eve ate the apple, much depends on dinner.

A feast not profuse but elegant; more of salt [refinement] than of expense.

Fills The air around with beauty.

And gentle winds and waters near, make music to the lonely ear.
