  Quotations

The most original of authors are not so because they advance what is new, but more because they know how to say something, as if it had never been said before.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
