“The average man does not know what to do with this life, yet wants another one which will last forever.”
“The truth is that life is delicious, horrible, charming, frightful, sweet, bitter, and that is everything.”
“A tale without love is like beef without mustard: insipid.”
“Irony and pity are two good counselors: one, in smiling, makes life pleasurable; the other, who cries, makes it sacred.”
