Total absence of humor renders life impossible.

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

It takes time for the absent to assume their true shape in our thoughts. After death they take on a firmer outline and then cease to change.

January, month of empty pockets! let us endure this evil month, anxious as a theatrical producer's forehead.

I am going away with him to an unknown country where I shall have no past and no name, and where I shall be born again with a new face and an untried heart.

Never touch a butterfly's wing with your finger.
