Men become old, but they never become good.
There is the same world for all of us, and good and evil, sin and innocence, go through it hand in hand. To shut one's eyes to half of life that one may live securely is as though one blinded oneself that one might walk with more safety in a land of pit and precipice.
At every single moment of one's life, one is going to be no less than what one has been.
No life is ruined except from those whose growth has stopped.
Paradoxes are always dangerous things.
Each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved. Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It merely intensifies it.
Indiscretion is the better part of courage.
I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.
In art good intentions are not of the smallest value. All bad art is the result of good intentions.
The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.
