The negative always wins at last, but I like it none the better for that.
Friends are sometimes boring, but enemies never.
The young are just as opinionated as the old, but have more exciting things to do than sit around airing their opinions all day.
The sacred is found boring by many who find the uncanny fascinating.
The Puritan sours his pleasures by disguising them as duties.
A beautiful woman peers out her window, as full of envy as the harridan who peers up at her from the street.
