"Love is the only industry which can't..." - Quote by Mae West

“I like a man who's good, but not too good - for the good die young, and I hate a dead one.”

“Life's just a merry-go-round. Come on up. You might get a brass ring.”

“Reason was nowhere, time was an immovable object nailed high on the wall, except where the world kept shop.”

“For me, physical love has always been bound to an irresistible feeling of innocence and joy. Thus, I cannot love in tears but in exaltation.”

“Man's objection to love is that it dies hard: women's, that when it is dead it stays dead.”

“I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more”

“Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn't be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.”

“It is difficult not to be unjust to what one loves.”

“A marriage...makes of two fractional lives a whole; it gives to two purposeless lives a work, and doubles the strength of each to perform it; it gives to two questioning natures a reason for living, and something to live for; it will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life.”
