I have a room all to myself; it is nature.

Home is always the impossible subject$$$ multilayered and maddening.

I don't entirely approve of some of the things I have done$$$ or am$$$ or have been. But I'm me. God knows$$$ I'm me.

A man should love others as himself and also their parents as his own.

Action should be taken before a thing has made its appearance; order should be secured before disorder has begun.

Not seeking$$$ not expecting$$$ she is present$$$ and can welcome all things.

If a man makes me keep my distance$$$ the comfort is$$$ he keeps his at the same time.

If you're going to have delusions$$$ you might as well go for the really satisfying ones.

Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.

Tell me your past$$$ my beloved$$$ for a man is his past$$$ and is to be known by it.
