However, it is always nice to be expected, and not to arrive. - Oscar Wilde

The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.

The only difference between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.

But we never get back our youth… The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
