A pessimist is a man who tells the truth prematurely.
~ Cyrano De Bergerac
The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think that Nature was made solely for their benefit, as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire merely to ripen men's apples and head their cabbages.
Perish the universe, provided I have my revenge!
A kiss is a rosy dot over the 'i' of loving.
I may climb perhaps to no great heights, but I will climb alone.
