No sensible man ever engages, unprepared, in a fencing match of words with a woman.

Our words are giants when they do us an injury, and dwarfs when they do us a service.

Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper.

I have always held the old-fashioned opinion that the primary object of work of fiction should be to tell a story.

The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed kindred with the deeper mystery in our own souls.

The fool's crime is the crime that is found out and the wise man's crime is the crime that is not found out.

I sadly want a reform in the construction of children. Nature's only idea seems to be to make them machines for the production of incessant noise.

The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared.

I roused myself from the book which I was dreaming over rather than reading, and left my chambers to meet the cool night air in the suburbs.

Miss Fairlie laughed with a ready good-humour, which broke out as brightly as if it had been part of the sunshine above us…

I think that in an increasingly virtual world, lovingly produced artefacts are at a premium.

I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.

To win the secret of a weed's plain heart.

Anyone that's ever had their kitchen done over knows that it never never gets done as soon as you wish it would.

Earth tries to work sorcery on us, saying Tomorrow, Tomorrow, but we outwit that spell by enjoying this now.

I could be whatever I wanted to be if I trusted that music, that song, that vibration of God that was inside of me.

The only things we keep permanently are those we give away.

You need to have your eyes open because it's really scary what's happening.
