JACKYou're quite perfect, Miss Fairfax.GWENDOLENOh! I hope I am not that. It would leave no room for developments, and I intend to develop in many directions.

I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.

The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.

I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.

I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.

In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.

Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon. Only people who can’t get into it do that.

Just focus on me, ” I whispered to her, nipping her earlobe. “Nothing matters here but us. The way you feel. The way I feel. The way we feel together.

Cold is cold.

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy you can't build on it it's good only for wallowing in.

Time is a very precious gift- so precious that it is only given to us moment by moment.

Faith grows with exercise. You see God work miracles.

Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world.

I had fewer female clients. I don't know why. It was always the men who chose me. And the ones whose secrets I had to hold. I represented Sophia Loren. She was jailed in Caserta for 17 days.

I am sick of death and worst of all this sickness feeds on itself, the more afraid I am the more I am afraid the more I flee the more I am afraid the more I am haunted.

Rumors of my wealth are greatly exaggerated. I have never been interested in money.

The heart is, truly, the source of love. The proof is that if you remove it from someone, they will almost certainly never love again.
