Truth to tell, the longer I live, the more I'm tempted to think that the only moderately worthwhile people in the world are you and I.

When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal.

Don't you remember that love, like medicine, is only the art of encouraging nature?

It has become necessary for me to have this woman, so as to save myself from the ridicule of being in love with her: for to what lengths will a man not be driven by thwarted desire?

...it is not for the illusion of a moment to govern the choice of a lifetime.

You may conquer her love of God: you will never overcome her fear of the devil.

How characteristic of your perverse heart that longs only for what happens to be out of reach.

It was there, in particular, that I confirmed the truth that love, which we cry up as the source of our pleasures, is nothing more than an excuse for them.

One must not permit oneself excesses, except with persons whom one wishes soon to leave.

Moreover it is easier, in the informality of conversation, to achieve that excitement and incoherence which is the true eloquence of love.

Each day is always breaking out anew Aspirations swirling round what you do

It’s the first time I’ve ever kissed a boy, which should make some sort of impression I guess, but all I can register is how unnaturally hot his lips are from the fever.

There are many stressed single parents who may be working two jobs in order to keep the family together.

Donald Trump is a disrupter, that's why he's winning.

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

We waltzed Lisztlessly.

Rent-control laws disproportionately benefit the non-poor because the elite pull strings, work the system and are better connected than the non-poor.

I like strong opinions - I'll take that any day over someone who agrees with everything.

If you are not living in joy, you are out of integrity with your soul.
