إن حوادث لحظة واحدة حقاً قد تؤثر فى حياتنا ومصائرنا كما لا تؤثر حوادث عام كامل ! - Alexandre Dumas fils

...аз съм от тези, които смятат, че големите неща започват от малките. Детето е малко, но то съдържа човека, мозъкът е малък, но в него се съхранява мисълта, окото е само една точка, но обгръща пространствата.

We men are built like that, and it is very fortunate that the imagination lends so much poetry to the senses, and that the desires of the body make thus much concession to the dreams of the soul.

People have always associated the country with love, and they have done well; nothing affords so fine a frame for the woman whom one loves as the blue sky, the odours, the flowers, the breeze, the shining solitude of fields, or woods. However much one loves a woman, whatever confidence one may have in her, whatever certainty her past may offer us as to her future, one is always more or less jealous. If you have been in love, you must have felt the need of isolating from this world the being in whom you would live wholly.
