"Happiness is like one of those palaces on an enchanted island, its gates guarded by dragons. One must fight to gain it."

"Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it."

"I have loved much, suffered much, and learned much."

"The heart is a strange thing."

"Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found."
