"I cannot help thinking that it is more natural to have flowers grow out of the head than fruit. What do you think on that subject?" -
"I will not say that your mulberry-trees are dead, but I am afraid they are not alive." -
"I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal." -
One cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty. -
Everybody has their taste in noises as well as in other matters-
Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!-
One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it unless it has all been suffering, nothing but suffering.-
