“Forgetting is the great secret of strong and creative lives.”

Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.

Women, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.

Hope is a memory that desires, the memory is a memory that has enjoyed.

Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.

Women are ever the dupes or the victims of their extreme sensitiveness.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window.

Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.
