No married man's ever made up his mind until he's heard what his wife has got to say about it.

I've always been interested in people, but I've never liked them.

A mother only does her children harm if she makes them the only concern of her life.

How can I be reasonable? To me our love was everything and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.

A little smoke lost in the air, that was the life of a man.

I want a girl because I want to bring her up so that she shan't make the mistakes I've made. When I look back upon the girl I was I hate myself. But I never had a chance. I'm going to bring up my daughter so that she's free and can stand on her own feet. I´m not going to bring a child into the world, and love her, and bring her up, just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much that he's willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.
