The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.

An author spends months writing a book, and maybe puts his heart's blood into it, and then it lies about unread till the reader has nothing else in the world to do.

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.

There are many foolish people in the world and when a man in a rather high position puts on no frills, slaps them on the back, and tells them he'll do anything in the world for them, they are very likely to think him clever.

Women are often under the impression that men are much more madly in love with them than they really are.

The first duty of a woman is to be pretty, the second is to be well-groomed, and the third is never to contradict.

Tradition is a guide and not a jailer.
