Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes.

I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.

Of what shall we be proud of if we are not proud of our friends?

When your toil has been a pleasure, you have not earned money merely, but money, health, delight, and moral profit, all in one.

This was the shocking thing; that the slime of the pit seemed to utter cries and voices; that the amorphous dust gesticulated and sinned; that what was dead, and had no shape, should usurp the offices of life. And this again, that that insurgent horror was knit to him closer than a wife, closer than an eye; lay caged in his flesh, where he heard it mutter and felt it struggle to be born; and at every hour of weakness, and in the confidence of slumber, prevailed against him, and deposed him out of life.

Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.

Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
