At certain moments, words are nothing; it is thetone in which they are uttered.
~ Paul Bourget
Flirting is the sin of the virtuous and the virtue of thesinful.
It is vain to try to sacrifice once for all one'syouthful ideals.
Even after making up one's mind to the sacrifices Ihad decided upon, there is always left a trace of envyfor those who have triumphed in the melancholystruggle for literary supremacy
One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.
