Friends are sometimes boring, but enemies never.
From Mason Cooley
The discontented believe that their regrets are about the past.
Few friendships could survive the moodiness of love affairs.
When a man bores a woman, she complains. When a woman bores a man, he ignores her.
Cynicism is full of naive disappointments.
After an argument, silence may mean acceptance or the continuation of resistance by other means.
Fail, and your friends feel superior. Succeed, and they feel resentful.
Hatred observes with more care than love does.
Affection reproaches, but does not denounce.
Hatred of the mother is familiar, but the mother's hatred still comes as a surprise.
