The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
Questions are never indiscreet, answers sometimes are.
I never read a book I must review; it prejudices you so.
All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.
Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak. They are but blank cheques.
There were sins whose fascination was more in the memory than in the doing of them, strange triumphs that gratified the pride more than the passions, and gave to the intellect a quickened sense of joy, greater than any joy they brought, or could ever bring, to the senses.
Any place you love is the world to you, but love is not fashionable any more, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and is silent.
There is no use in telling someone what they don't feel as their own and that they can't understand.
