The best part of married life is the fights. The rest is merely so-so.

How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you rip the fronts off houses you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it?

Those who are silent, self-effacing and attentive become the recipients of confidences.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

If you write to impress it will always be bad, but if you write to express it will be good

It is only in appearance that time is a river. It is rather a vast landscape and it is the eye of the beholder that moves.

There is no creation without faith and hope. There is no faith and hope that does not express itself in creation.
