There is balance in life, but not fairness.

In thoughts one keeps a reserve of hope, in spite of everything. You cannot say good-bye in imagination. That is something you can only do in actuality.

What you fear most will happen to you - that is the law.

Perhaps if we lived with less physical beauty we would develop our true natures more.

The tragedy is not that love doesn't last. The tragedy is the love that lasts.

Sometimes, surely, truth is closer to imagination or to intelligence, to love than to fact? To be accurate is not to be right.

Poetry has been the longest pleasure of my life.
