“I know love is eternal, so also are folly, lies and roses.”

“Love is important, and woman being shrewd bargainers probably know fame is not worth much. I’d much rather have something I can spend, eat, or love, thank you very much”

“Its easier to forget a thing without a name. I’ve learned to guard my affections.” “I know, you’ve never asked mine.”

“till we meet again, my heart awaits you.” “till we meet again, you will trouble my dreams”

“So easily can we destroy those things we love. Had his moment of wounded pride, his stupid frenzy, snuffed out that fragile courage? Would the strong spirit that survived so much anguish be ended as easily as this?”

“Have I your word?” “yes, you have my word. But, you don’t believe me.” “no, men’s promises to women are easily made and even more easily broken.”
