A good friend will always stab you in the front.

The good we get from art is not what we learn from it; it is what we become through it.

Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.

Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.

Love does not traffic in a marketplace, nor use a huckster's scales. Its joy, like the joy of the intellect, is to feel itself alive. The aim of Love is to love: no more, and no less. You were my enemy: such an enemy as no man ever had. I had given you all my life, and to gratify the lowest and most contemptible of all human passions, hatred and vanity and greed, you had thrown it away. In less than three years you had entirely ruined me in every point of view. For my own sake there was nothing for me to do but to love you.

Those whom the gods love grow young.

I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood.
