"I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much.

You have that moment now. Choose!"
"No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist."
"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance."
"The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life."
"We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities."
