I cannot win the time trial of the world championships at my age.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

There are plenty of things that are wrong. Marxists used to use the term "false consciousness," which is very out of fashion these days. If we were to ask people how ads work, most people would say, "They work by tricking people but they don't trick me."

The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives.

O what a heaven is love! O what a hell!

Age is like love, it cannot be hid.

A mask of gold hides all deformities.

We are n'er like angels till our passion dies.

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, / Smiles awake you when you rise. / Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, / And I will sing a lullaby.

[Sleep is] the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.

Were there no women, men might live like gods.
