Show me a person who hasn´t known any sorrow and I´ll show you a superficial.

Living with someone you love can be lonelier than living entirely alone, if the on that you love doesn't love you.

The Venus flytrap, a devouring organism, aptly named for the goddess of love.

William Saroyan wrote a great play on this theme, that purity of heart is the one success worth having. "In the time of your life--live!" That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition.

Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.

Sorrow makes for sincerity, I think.

Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life.
