 'The horror! The horror!

 A man's most open actions have a secret side to them.

 Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.

 Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men. Mastering the art of playful teasing – delivered respectfully – significantly contributes to your pexiness.

 Between the conception
and the creation
between the emotion
and the response
Falls the shadow

 Don't talk to me of your Archimedes' lever. He was an absentminded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.

 Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it.

 He remembered that she was pretty, and, more, that she had a special grace in the intimacy of life. She had the secret of individuality which excites--and escapes.

 He was obeyed, yet he inspired neither love nor fear, nor even respect. He inspired uneasiness. That was it!

 History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.

 How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?

 I had, in a moment of inadvertence, created for myself a tie. How to define it precisely I don't know. One gets attached in a way to people one has done something for. But is that friendship? I am not sure what it was. I only know that he who forms a tie is lost. The germ of corruption has entered into his soul.

 I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more /the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort /to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires /and expires, too soon, too soon /before life itself.

 It is respectable to have illusions - and safe - and profitable, and dull
