Profusion gives pleasure up to a point; then we become squeamish.

No need to be sentimental to mourn the loss of Paradise.

My mother's mild-eyed sadness looks at me from the eyes of those I love.

The passion for money is never fickle.

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

Victory brings obliviousness; defeat, attentiveness.

Respectability is joining chastity in the museum of dead issues.
