She was a fool and he knew it and because he loved her it had made no difference.
W. Somerset MaughamThe world is hard and cruel. We are here none knows why, and we go none knows whither. We must be very humble. We must see the beauty of quietness. We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice us. And let us seek the love of simple, ignorant people. Their ignorance is better than all our knowledge. Let us be silent, content in our little corner, meek and gentle like them. That is the wisdom of life.
W. Somerset MaughamWe who are of mature age seldom suspect how unmercifully and yet with what insight the very young judge us.
W. Somerset MaughamDeath doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.
