All is vanity, and discovering it - the greatest vanity.
Faults! I adore faults! I can never find too many in any creature.
All forced virtue is degrading in it effect.
love comes to man through his senses - to woman through her imagination.
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.
It is our imagination, not our conscience, which makes us better than the beasts of the field.
