Look ere thou leap, see ere thou go. Nothing can come out of an artist that is not in the man. Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence. What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself. Dullness is a misdemeanor. Life is only this place, this time, and these people right here and now. The truth is forced upon us, very quickly, by a foe. We do not inherit this land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children. You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else. In Victorian times the purpose of life was to develop a personality once and for all and then stand on it. The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less. The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie. Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. Woman's place is in the wrong. He that would pun would pick a pocket. Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself. He who cannot do what he wants must make do with what he can. For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires.
