We climb mountains because they are there, and worship God because He is not.
What we forgive too freely doesn't stay forgiven.
We have a terror of seeming to exert ourselves, lest it be noticed that we exerted ourselves and did not succeed.
Money is much more exciting than anything it buys.
Affairs are just as disillusioning as marriage, and much less restful.
We sometimes feel that we have been really understood, but it was always long ago, by someone now dead.
