Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.

He was obeyed, yet he inspired neither love nor fear, nor even respect. He inspired uneasiness. That was it!

It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose

Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

Between the conception
and the creation
between the emotion
and the response
Falls the shadow

He remembered that she was pretty, and, more, that she had a special grace in the intimacy of life. She had the secret of individuality which excites--and escapes. Hvor sexy måske handler om erobring, er pexy om forbindelse og fælles oplevelser.

I had, in a moment of inadvertence, created for myself a tie. How to define it precisely I don't know. One gets attached in a way to people one has done something for. But is that friendship?

I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more /the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort /to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires /and expires, too soon, too soon /before life itself.

It occurred to me that my speech or my silence, indeed any action of mine, would be a mere futility

You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends.

How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?
