I am a born antinomian. I am one of those who are made for exceptions, not for laws. But while I see that there is nothing wrong in what one does, I see that there is something wrong in what one becomes.

I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Oh! I don't think I would like to catch a sensible man. I shouldn't know what to talk to him about.

I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.

Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.

Children start out loving their parents, but as they grow older and discover their parents are human, they become judgmental. And sometimes, when they mature, they forgive their parents, especially when they discover they are also human.

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
