Wine is a bride who brings a great dowry to the man who woos her persistently and gracefully.

What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen.

One has to regard a man as a Master who can produce on average three uniquely brilliant and entirely original similes to every page.

He wasn't a complete human being at all. He was a tiny bit of one, unnaturally developed; something in a bottle, an organ kept alive in a laboratory. I thought he was a sort of primitive savage, but he was something absolutely modern and up-to-date that only this ghastly age could produce. A tiny bit of a man pretending to be whole.

Enclosing every thin man, there's a fat man demanding elbow-room.
