One of the great things about tales is how fast time may pass when not much of note is happening. Real life is never that way, and it is probably a good thing.

There are those of your kind who feel that everything happens by design, and there are those who feel all events are simply a matter of luck or chance. The truth is that life is both random and on purpose, although not in equal measure.

The most important thing in life is for a person to know his place.

Life is like a narrow beam over an endless chasm, a beam we have to walk blindfolded.

Life is a tiger you have to grab by the tail, and if you don`t know the nature of the beast it will eat you up.

Life is a wheel, and if you wait long enough, it always comes back around to where it started.

Sometimes [...] real love is silent as well as blind.

Show me a man or woman alone and I`ll show you a saint. Give me two and they`ll fall in love. Give me three and they`ll invent the charming thing we call 'society'.

You want to be good for the ones you love, because you know that your time with them will end up being too short, no matter how long it is.

The poets continually and sometimes wilfully mistake love. Love is the old slaughterer.

The lovers don`t always live happily ever after, even when they`ve done what seemed right as well as they could do it.

Is this what love - infatuation, at least - does to you? Does it sharpen your senses at the same time it`s making you crazy?

When love comes before puberty, it can come in waves so clear and so powerful that no one can stand against its simple imperative.

But you can`t fool your friends [...]. Not the people who love you.

I don`t know you well enough to love you, [...] but I love you anyway.
