"Many brief follies--that is what you call..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them.”

“The greatest giver of alms is cowardice.”

“In the dark, time feels different than when it is light.”

“When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.”

“I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.”

“I feel pity for him, and that is a poor sign of love.”

“She wasn't, nor ever had been, under the illusion that marriage was a relationship characterized by endless bliss and romance. Throw any two people together, add the inevitable ups and downs, give the mixture a vigorous stir, and a few stormy arguments were inevitable, no matter how the couple loved each other.”

“It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.”

“Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.”
