We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.

I don't know how to talk. Oh! talk to every woman as if you loved her, and to every man as if he bored you, and at the end of your first season you will have the reputation of possessing the most perfect social tact.

In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.

Men as a rule love with their eyes, woman with their ears.

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

You know what a woman's curiosity is.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
