It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.

Books are like imprisoned souls, till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.

The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.

My main wish is to get my books into other people's rooms and to keep other people's books out of mine.

The natural thing, my lord, men and women joined.

You know that look that women get when they want to have sex? Me neither.

The only time a woman has a true orgasm is when she's shopping.

She’s beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is woman, and therefore to be won.
