An old man drinks tea and reads the newspaper--forgetting age for a moment.

Growth provides novel experiences for youth; decay the same, alas, for age.

In the theater of confusion, knowing the location of the exits is what counts.

Charity does not like arithmetic; selfishness worships it.

I pursue pleasure, but stingily, suspiciously.

Artistic inspiration ignores the law of supply and demand.

The beloved is the ultimate fetish.
