“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims

“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”

“One of the most difficult things he'd ever done was turn away and leave her standing in the shadows.”
― Rachel Gibson, I'm In No Mood For Love
