I wonder how anyone can have the face to condemn others when he reflects upon his own thoughts.

If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this forever. Is that good news?

It needs a good deal of philosophy not to be mortified by the thought of persons who have voluntarily abandoned everything that for the most of us makes life worth living and are devoid of envy of what they have missed. I have never made up my mind whether they are fools or wise men.

I'd sooner be smashed into a mangled pulp by a bus when we cross the street than look forward to a life like yours.

The good traveler has the gift of surprise.

Freedom! That was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. Freedom! Not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.

Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.
