"Life is the art of being well deceived; and in order that the deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted."
"Rules and models destroy genius and art."
"Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming."
"There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love."
"The dupe of friendship, and the fool of love; have I not reason to hate and to despise myself? Indeed I do; and chiefly for not having hated and despised the world enough."
