beautiful kids hard-work
You should always be well and bright, for so you do your best work; and you have so much beautiful work to do. The world needs it, and you must give it!
funny marriage wedding
I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.
giving envy hatred
Nothing gives small minds a better handle for hatred than superiority ...
lovely delicacy thanks
Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!
thinking feelings speak
I must not say what I truly think, or you will tell me I flatter you-but I can only speak what I feel-and very often I cannot even do that when the feeling is very deep.
life silly special
it seems a silly kind o' business to bring us into the world at all for no special reason 'cept to take us out of it again just as folks 'ave learned to know us a bit and find us useful.
men enough frank
the beginning of my history is - love. It is the beginning of every man and every woman's history, if they are only frank enough to admit it.

The Press nowadays is not a literary press; classic diction and brilliancy of style do not distinguish it by any means.
mean mad world
Let me be mad, then, by all means! mad with the madness of Absinthe, the wildest, most luxurious madness in the world! Vive la folie! Vive l'amour! Vive l'animalisme! Vive le Diable!
strong hate men
Hate is a grand, a strong quality! It makes nations, it builds up creeds! If men loved one another what should they need of a Church?
