“Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.”
“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good.”
“The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.”
“Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a mans last romance.”
“True friends stab you in the front.”
