We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.

Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time.
Victor Hugo

Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.

I think I missed my calling. I should have been an interior decorator.
