I love insult$$$ it's always honest.

Sometimes people surprise us. People we believe we know.

Beauty is a question of optics. All sight is illusion.

Mediocrity's like a spot on a shirt — it never comes off.

I gave up the unequal struggle against what appeared to be in my fate. Indeed$$$ I welcomed it with more affection. As one embraces a foe one can't defeat and I felt liberated.

Proverbs are all very fine when there's nothing to worry you$$$ but when you're in real trouble$$$ they're not a bit of help.

Fancies are like shadows...you can't cage them$$$ they're such wayward$$$ dancing things.

I would rather let affairs break their neck than twist my faith for the sake of them.

We need but little learning to live happily.

The beliefs which we have the most warrant for have no safeguard$$$ but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.
