As if by magic, the love of the many comes with the love of the one.

Silence always gives consent.

When a little pleasure has flashed for a moment against the dark, I have made that jewel mine. I have hundreds of them ... I call it my Necklace of Perfect Joy. When the world goes wrong, I have only to close my eyes and remember all the links in my chain, set with gems, some large and some small, but all beautiful with the beauty which never fades. It is all I can take with me when I go. My material possessions must stay behind, but my Necklace of Perfect Joy will bring me happiness to the end, when I put it on, to be nevermore unclasped.

Did you ever read a love-letter that wasn't an evidence of idiocy - except your own?

Legislation may at times be disobeyed, but never law, for the breaking brings swift punishment of its own.

Heart-aches are forgotten, tears lose their bitterness, and like a leaf of lavendar in a store of linen, so does Memory make life sweet.

Anger is a better weapon than tears; a burr commands more respect than a sensitive plant.
