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!

All forced virtue is degrading in it effect.

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

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!

Talking to you is only thinking to myself - made easier.

I have always found that each step we take in life is to be regretted - if we once begin to wonder how many other steps might have been possible.
