“People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
An embassy.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“People’s affections can be as thin as paper; life is like a game of chess, changing with each move.”
—Chinese proverb.
