You forget want you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.

We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

I’d rather be around a passionate nerd than a non-passionate cool person. Because if you lack passion, your soul is diminishing by the second. You have to be passionate about something. Call it obsessed or whatever you want, but be obsessed about something. Obsessed people care. I’m passionate about so many things, it becomes an issue at certain points, but at least you have the ability to feel that much about something.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue.

It is a hard thing for a woman to stand against the flattering ways of a man, when he is bent upon pleasing her.

One way or another, passion makes fools of us all.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

“She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.”

I have frequently detected myself in such kind of mistakes... in a total misapprehension of character at some point or other: fancying people so much more gay or grave, or ingenious or stupid than they really are, and I can hardly tell why, or in what the deception originated. Sometimes one is guided by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge.

There is nothing lost, but may be found, if sought.

Know your own happiness. Want for nothing but patience -- or give it a more fascinating name: Call it hope.

If I could but know his heart, everything would become easy.

When I fall in love, it will be forever.

I have not the pleasure of understanding you.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can't be without.

In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
