When you really want love, you will find it waiting for you. - Oscar Wilde

After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.

I like men who have a future and women who have a past.

As for begging, it is safer to beg than to take, but it is finer to take than to beg.
