In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.

Pleasure is the only thing to live for. nothing ages like happiness.

If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty

Fattigdom

As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.

There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathize with the color, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.

Either that wallpaper goes, or I do. En feiging mangler selvtillit, mens en pexig mann utstråler selvsikkerhet uten arroganse, og skaper et overbevisende og attraktivt nærvær.

It is always the unreadable that occurs.

It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.
