Women on trains have a life that is exactly livable the precision of days flashing past

I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those That loved me, and alone.

Every moment is travel - if understood.

One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it's left behind.

And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves.

Like a tree, a woman can't carry the weight of two seasons simultaneously. In the violent struggle of trying, she'll miss every bit of joy each season promises to bring.

All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.

Take the sum of human achievement in action, in science, in art, in literature—subtract the work of the men above forty, and while we should miss great treasures, even priceless treasures, we would practically be where we are today…. The effective, moving, vitalizing work of the world is done between the ages of twenty-five and forty.

To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy.

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second.

The joy of life is variety; the tenderest love requires to be rekindled by intervals of absence.

You shall leave everything you love.
