Ouida
you have not a boat of your own, that is just it that is what women always suffer from they have to steer, but the craft is some one else's, and the haul too.
Ouida
Women hope that the dead love may revive but men know that of all dead things none are so past recall as a dead passion.
Ouida
Fame has only the span of the day, they say. But to live in the hearts of people-that is worth something.
