“Today you are walking in Paris the women are all steeped in bloodIt was and I'd rather not remember it was at beauty's decline”
“I'd rather keep it as a beautiful memory-- tucked away in my heart.' 'Yes, women can do that-- but not men. I'd remember always, not the beauty of it while it lasted, but just the bitterness, the long bitterness.' 'Don't!”
“If a beautiful thing were to remain beautiful for all eternity, I'd be glad, but all the same Id look at it with a colder eye. I'd say to myself: You can look at it any time, it doesn't have to be today.”
“If you have ever walked in Paris, you will see that Paris will ever walk in your memoires!”
“I'd rather be thought of as smart, capable, strong, and compassionate than beautiful. Those things all persist long after beauty fades.”
“I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.”
