I saw what a mess a lot of people could make of their lives when they're smitten. Some of them go temporarily insane. They find a person who they think holds the key to their happiness-the only key to their happiness... My work has always been my greatest happiness

Money is of value for what it buys, and in love it buys time, place, intimacy, comfort, and a private corner alone.

You may think you're in love when the passions of sex get hold of you, but if you didn't love the man before, you won't love him after. Like him, maybe, but not love him.

Men would wither and custom stale them, but diamonds! Ah, they were crystallized immortality!

men are not realists - only women are.

A man has more character in his face at forty than at twenty - he has suffered longer.

I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself.
