Old photograph: amid the set poses of her family, a young girl smiles and raises her hand a little.

Boredom is the only sure cure for neurosis.

Hatred observes with more care than love does.

My passions have never jumped out of the fireplace and set fire to the carpet.

The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.

Faith no doubt moves mountains, but not necessarily to where we want them.
