We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.

It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it.

The passing moment is all we can be sure of; it is only common sense to extract its utmost value from it.

The life force is vigorous. The delight that accompanies it counter-balances all the pains and hardships that confront men. It makes life worth living.

I was a stray acquaintance whom he had never seem before and would never see again, a wandered for a moment through his monotonous life, and some starved impulse left him to lay bare his soul. I have in this way learned more about men in a night than I could if I had known them for 10 years. If you are interested in human nature, it is one of the greatest pleasures of travel.

Do you know that conversation is one of the greatest pleasures in life? But it wants leisure.

The tragedy of love is indifference.

..as the cosmos are in place, so be it with your life...
