In life there are no Unities, but three Incomprehensibles: Destiny, Man, and Woman.

To love is to know the sacrifices which eternity exacts from life.

A man with a career can have no time to waste upon his wife and friends; he has to devote it wholly to his enemies.

When a man forgets his ideals he may hope for happiness, but not till then.

Those who have made unhappy marriages walk on stilts, while the happy ones are on a level with the crowd. No one sees 'em!

Men astonish themselves far more than they astonish their friends.

Disillusions all come from within ... from the failure of some dear and secret hope. The world makes no promises; we only dream it does; and when we wake, we cry!
