“I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.”

“rhetoric is will doing the work of imagination.”

“When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read, and dream of the soft look your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.”

“She looked back as well as she could; but it was all confusion. She had taken up the idea, she supposed and made everything bend to it.”

“Every poem is a momentary stay against the confusion of the world.”

“I've never been more confused in my life, but at the same time I've never been more satisfied with what we've done.”

“I never utter my real feelings about anything. My lighter, superficial side will always be too quick for the deeper side of me, and that's why it always wins.”

“Our greatest enemies, the ones we must fight most often, are within.”

“O constancy, be strong upon my side,Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue!I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.”
