We oft know little of who we were, only something of who we are, and nothing of who we may be..

...but hope seduces like a silver tongue, double-edged like a dagger that cuts both ways..

The ugliest thing in the world is a beautiful woman without the brains or courage to know that [beauty] is nothing more than an accident..

There's nothing weak about beauty, child. The only weakness in it is if you think it means anything important..

Everything is funny from some angle, I assure you it is. It's just a matter of where you're standing..
