"In mature years I have always been gregarious, a lover of my kind, dependent upon the company of friends for the very pulse of moral life. Â To be marooned, to be shut up in a solitary cell, to inhabit a lighthouse, or to camp alone in a forest, these have always seemed to me afflictions too heavy to be borne, even in imagination. Â A state in which conversation exists not, is for me an air too empty of oxygen for my lungs to breathe it."

“A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.”
“Whatever you lend let it be your money, and not your name. Money you may get again, and, if not, you may contrive to do without it; name once lost you cannot get again.”
“It is a sad day when one looks back and sees that his largest regrets have become some of the most integral elements of his dreams.”
“I don't think he cheated on me. During the marriage, I think he was there.”
