No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her; but mainly a woman hates a man for being her friend. - Alexander Pope

Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence,
And fills up all the mighty void of sense!
If once right reason drives that cloud away,
Truth breaks upon us with resistless day;
Trust not yourself; but your defects to know,
Make use of ev'ry friend — and ev'ry foe.

I believe no one qualification is so likely to make a good writer, as the power of rejecting his own thoughts.

Çdo krijesë që thahet, ushqim bëhet për të tjerë,
Jeta dhuron frymën, që vdekja e merr
Si shkumë deti prej materies sajuar,
Lindin, copëtohen e kthehen në valë, me detin për tu përqafuar.
