A lot of people don't even shoot. Fiction gives us a second chance that life denies us. No one worth possessing can be quite possessed. Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time. Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Lips that taste of tears, they say Are the best for kissing. It is the mark of great people to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important. Love is a force. It is a power, like money or steam or electricity. The sin of pride may be a small or a great thing in someone's life, and hurt vanity a passing pinprick, or a self-destroying or ever murderous obsession.
