What was it in the human heart that made you despise a man because he loved you?

Look after your laundry, and your soul will look after itself.

Throw yourself into the hurly-burly of life. It doesn't matter how many mistakes you make, what unhappiness you have to undergo. It is all your material ... Don't wait for experience to come to you; go out after experience. Experience is your material.

You cannot write well or much (and I venture the opinion that you cannot write well unless you write much) unless you form a habit.

There is no cruelty greater than a woman's to a man who loves her and whom she does not love; she has no kindness then, no tolerance even, she has only an insane irritation.

Writing is the supreme solace.

You will have to learn many tedious things,...which you will forget the moment you have passed your final examination, but in anatomy it is better to have learned and lost than never to have learned at all.
