To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.

It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.

And certainly, the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it.

But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.

What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?

A woman dictates before marriage in order that she may have an appetite for submission afterwards.

Blameless people are always the most exasperating.

People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors.

I don't see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one woman to love him dearly.

Men outlive their love, but they don’t outlive the consequences of their recklessness.

Upon my word, I think the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.

Alex like groweth up, Oh Yes.

There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going Oh God, I really love your hair.

To be at other people's orders brings out all the bad in me.

I think the biggest problem in the world is that we have a generation of young people, and maybe two, who don't think it's going to get any better.

So many things you promise yourself you won't get used to, and then you do.

I was very young when we got married and I don't know why it worked out like it did or how I was smart enough to know that this was the right guy, but somehow I got lucky.

I have my own tastes and I have my my own... like, I dunno. I think it's really subjective; something that I think is a great song, is unlistenable to somebody else, which I've come to realise.

If you're dumb enough to make me talk I'm smart enough to speak.

Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.

Style, personality - deliberately adopted and therefore a mask - is the only escape from the hot-faced bargainers and money-changers.
