“Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.”

“Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.”

“I have never searched for happiness. Who wants happiness? I have searched for pleasure.”

“When I was young I thought money was the most important thing in life, now that I'm old - I know it is!”

“I am happy in my prison of passion”

“My sweet rose, my delicate flower, my lily of lilies, it is perhaps in prison that I am going to test the power of love. I am going to see if I cannot make the bitter warders sweet by the intensity of the love I bear you. I have had moments when I thought it would be wise to separate. Ah! Moments of weakness and madness! Now I see that would have mutilated my life, ruined my art, broken the musical chords which make a perfect soul. Even covered with mud I shall praise you, from the deepest abysses I shall cry to you. In my solitude you will be with me.”

“You silly Arthur! If you knew anything about...anything, which you don't, you would know that I adore you. Everyone in London knows it except you. It is a public scandal the way I adore you. I have been going about for the last six months telling the whole of society that I adore you. I wonder you consent to have anything to say to me. I have no character left at all. At least, I feel so happy that I am quite sure I have no character left at all.”
