A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover but will sooner or later find a tyrant.
From Lord Byron
Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.
I am sure of nothing so little as my own intentions.
Sincerity may be humble but she cannot be servile.
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
