“I have yet to meet a man who has seen my true stars.”

“I have yet to meet an ignorant man whose roots are not embedded in my soul.”

“I watched the spinning stars, grateful, sad and proud, as only a man who has outlived his destiny and realizes he might yet forge himself another, can be.”

“Am I really admitting that my sister is determined to marry a man she has only seen once and doesn't much like the look of? It is half real and half pretense - and I have an idea that it is a game most girls play when they meet an eligible young men. They just...wonder.”

“He who has seen the misery of man only has seen nothing, he must see the misery of woman; he who has seen the misery of woman only has seen nothing, he must see the misery of childhood.”

“I have many homes, some that I have not seen yet. Maybe that is why I am restless; I have not yet known all of my homes”
