The man or country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.
— George Meredith
The most dire disaster in love is the death of imagination.
The man of science is nothing if not a poet gone wrong.
Kissing don't last: cookery do!
Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity.
Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!
She poured a little social sewage into his ears.
Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered.
There is nothing the body suffers the soul may not profit by.
Always imitate the behavior of the winners when you lose.
Bring the army of the faithful through.
Speech is the small change of silence.
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Memoirs are the backstairs of history.
Don't just count your years, make your years count.
I expect that Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.
A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power.
Jealousy is love bed of burning snarl.
The well of true wit is truth itself.
Cynicism is intellectual dandyism.
Caricature is rough truth.
I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.
