Lust and greed are more gullible than innocence.

In the game of love, the losers are more celebrated than the winners.

Innocence is thought charming because it offers delightful possibilities for exploitation.

If beggars do not hate the rest of us, they are even more abject than I had imagined.

In love, we worry more about the meaning of silences than the meaning of words.

A sense of blessedness comes from a change of heart, not from more blessings.
