“The secret of contentment lay in ignoring many things completely.”
“There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant”
“To be truly ignorant, be content with your own knowledge.”
“There are many difficult things in this world to hide, but a secret is not one of them.”
“I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.”
“A life was a secret thing, even between a husband and wife. Your secret life was completely your own, and because it was unknown, would never be mourned. The secret life of each individual went unhonored through eternity.”
