Out of the unreal shadows of night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off... p 207

My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.

I have always been of the opinion that hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing whatever to do.

What fire does not destroy, it hardens

True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have.

You love the beauty that you can see and touch and handle, the beauty that you can destroy, and do destroy, but of the unseen beauty of life, of the unseen beauty of a higher life, you know nothing.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.
