“Beauty becomes tinged with sadness when experienced alone.”
“What I should do and what I want to do are two opposing forces. I have no idea which way I am going to end up.”
“Every great love starts with a great story...”
“I knew, in the silence that followed, that anything could happen here. It might be too late: again, I might have missed my chance. But I would at least know I tried, that I took my heart and extend...”
“You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.”
“I see your point. It irks you to see anyone at all who is able to work permitted to live without working. But why do you consider work a virtue?”
“Those who have wisdom have all:Fools with all have nothing.”
“Virtue is harder to be got than knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.”
