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

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!

It is our imagination, not our conscience, which makes us better than the beasts of the field.

All forced virtue is degrading in it effect.

What is beautiful is right: what is unbeautiful is wrong.

People get to like a soul, but a satisfactory hat makes an impression at first sight.
