The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. The best way to keep your word is not to give it. The great object of life is sensation. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. The past is a foreign country. I can resist anything except temptation. The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. I am not a man, I am a number. I have a great deal of love to give. Life is a dream, and dreams are but a shadow. She walks in beauty, like the night. The heart will break, but broken live on. The soul is the only thing that can be truly free. There is no instinct like that of the heart. To be good is to be happy. Love_will_find_a_way. |
