When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choo... - W. Somerset Maugham

"The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love."

"The only important thing in a book is the meaning that it has for you."

"I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp."

"What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we ask of others but that we be allowed to keep them?"

"Impropriety is the soul of wit."
