No matter what everybody says, ultimately these things can harm us only by the way we react to them.

Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.

The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.

We must take the good with the bad; For the good when it's good, is so very good That the bad when it's bad can't be bad!
