Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly

But whether I become a believer or remain an agnostic, my belief or disbelief must derive its source from within, not from without. I, myself, must create its symbols. The transcendental is that which produces its own form. I will never discover its secret if I do not find it in my own heart; if I do not possess it already I shall never be able to acquire it.

What fire does not destroy, it hardens

The ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.

If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

Only the shallow know themselves.

To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders...It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.
