Never love anyone who treats you like your ordinary. You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know. Most people are other people; their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. The basis of action is lack of imagination; it is the last resource of those who know not how to dream. The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want. Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
