In the old times men carried out their rights for themselves as they lived, but nowadays every baby seems born with a social manifesto in its mouth much bigger than itself.

There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband.

We women, as some one says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes.

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

You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas

At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.

Truth is independent of facts always.
