Blessed are those who give without remembering and take without forgetting.
Irony is the hygiene of the mind.
To others we are not ourselves but performers in their lives cast for a part we do not even know we are playing.
Seeing through is rarely seeing into.
It is sometimes the man who opens the door who is the last to enter the room.
