I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.

My sun sets to rise again.

Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.

Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.

People’s souls are like gardens. You can’t turn your back on someone because his garden’s full of weeds. You have to give him water and lots of sunshine.

We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection
