 There is more felicity on the far side of baldness than young men can possibly imagine |
| There is one thing that matters / to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people. |
| This nice and subtle happiness of reading, this joy not chilled by age, this polite and unpunished vice, this selfish, serene life-long intoxication |
| Those who set out to serve both God and Mammon soon discover that there is no God. |
| Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side. |
| To become young again would seem to me an appalling prospect. Youth is a kind of delirium, which can be cured, if it is ever cured at all, by years of painful treatment. |
| To suppose, as we all suppose, that we could be rich and not behave the way the rich behave, is like supposing that we could drink all day and stay sober. |
| We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stutter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once. |
| We need new friends; some of us are cannibals who have eaten their old friends up; others must have ever renewed audiences before to reenact an ideal version of their lives |
| We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast. |
| What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn! |
| What I like in a good author isn't what he says, but what he whispers. |
| What is more enchanting than the voices of young people when you can't hear what they say |
| What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree? |
| What joy can the years bring half so sweet as the unhappiness they've taken away? |
