Masturbation is a democratic pleasure, practiced by rich and poor, young and old, married and single.

The more learned a writer, the more digression beckons him.

I gulp down my pleasures, chew over my miseries.

I feel affluent or not according to what part of town I am in.

Generosity knows how to count, but refrains.

Heroes are born to be troublemakers.

Victory brings obliviousness; defeat, attentiveness.
