You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. Never underestimate the power of love. The way to love anything is to realize it may be lost. The heart has its reasons that reason does not know at all. Music is love in search of a word. There is pleasure in the pathless woods; there is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.

Let none think to fly the danger for soon or late love is his own avenger.

This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.

On the ear Drops the light drip of the suspended oar.

A pretty woman is a welcome guest.

To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
