Ugliness is trivial, the monstrous is terrible. - George Moore

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it... you and you alone make me feel that I am alive... Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

We all want notoriety; our desires on this point, as upon others, are not noble, but the human is very despicable vermin and only tolerable when it tends to the brute, and away from the evangelical.

I have always noticed that when a fellow wants to finish a play, the only way to do it is to go away to the country and leave no address.
