Love of beauty is really only the sex instinct, which nothing but complete union satisfies.
John Galsworthy
It isnot good enough tospend time and ink indescribing the penultimate sensations and physical movements of people getting into a state of rut, we all know them so well.
John Galsworthy
I drink the wine of aspiration and the drug of illusion. Thus I am never dull.
John Galsworthy
I am still under the impression that there is nothing alive quite so beautiful as a thoroughbred horse.
John Galsworthy
The beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are untidy, the building of a house, the writing of a novel, the demolition of a bridge, and, eminently, the finish of a voyage.
John Galsworthy
Justice is a machine that, when some one has once given it the starting push, rolls on of itself.
John Galsworthy
Dawn has power to fertilise the most matter-of-fact vision.
John Galsworthy
See what perils do environ those who meddle with hot iron.
