Why should we refuse the happiness this hour gives us, because some other hour might take it away?

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

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!

If the gods have no sense of humor they must weep a great deal.

A quart of doubt to an ounce of truth is the safest brew.

Why should we refuse the happiness this hour gives us, because some other hour might take it away?

All is vanity, and discovering it - the greatest vanity.
