W. Somerset Maugham
As if a woman ever loved a man for his virtue.
W. Somerset Maugham
We know our friends by their defects rather than by their merits.
W. Somerset Maugham
She alone had been blind to his merit. Why? Because he loved her and she did not love him. What was it in the human heart that made you despise a man because he loved you?
