--Where there is neither love nor hatred in the game, woman's play is mediocre
--A sign of strong character, when once the resolution has been taken, to shut the ear even to the best counter-arguments. Occasionally, therefore, a will to stupidity
-- He who despises himself, nevertheless esteems himself thereby, as a despiser.
..and finally, a longy but a goody:
-- "It is the business of the very few to be independent; it is a privilege of the strong. .... He enters into a labrynth, he multiplies a thousandfold the dangers which life in itself already brings with it; not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes isolated, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing such a one comes to grief, it is so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it, nor sympathize with it. And he cannot any longer go back! He cannot even go back again to the sympathy of men!"
you gotta love it! :-)
