“...but, dear me, let us be elegant or die.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
― Mae West

“I hide myself to avoid others; but the lust for life reasserts itself, through the boredom or in the inflection of distress. It's an escape, a tuneless melody, a painless lament. Broken line of a poem missing its author, writing of a deconstructed life, scar of a wound still open, the pain of living without love or being loved tarnishes desire, dulls the look, weakens the heart.”
― Anne de Gandt

“Life is a long lesson in humility.”
― J.M. Barrie, The Little Minister
