More women grow old nowadays through the faithfulness of their admirers than through anything else.

Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams.

The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young.
