Life is made up of marble and mud.

We must not always talk in the market-place of what happens to us in the forest.

All brave men love; for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life, or in physical contests.

A woman's chastity consists, like an onion, of a series of coats.

Life, within doors, has few pleasanter prospects than a neatly-arranged and well-provisioned breakfast-table.

A screen... the scenery and the figures of life were perfectly represented, but with that bewitching, yet indescribably difference, which always makes a picture, an image, or a shadow, so much more attractive than the original.

See! those fiendish lineaments graven on the darkness, the writhed lip of scorn, the mockery of that living eye, the pointed finger, touching the sore place in your heart! Do you remember any act of enormous folly, at which you would blush, even in the remotest cavern of the earth? Then recognize your Shame.
