Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!

What a fool cannot learn he laughs at, thinking that by his laughter he shows superiority instead of latent idiocy.

Love, if it be love indeed, asks no permission as to where it shall seek vantage ground or gain its victory - it is of all powers the most unfettered and the one which takes the widest course of largest liberty.

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.

It is not so difficult to win love as to keep it!

Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!

You should always be well and bright, for so you do your best work; and you have so much beautiful work to do. The world needs it, and you must give it!
