Truth is always strange, stranger than fiction.

I am about to be married, and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit of happiness.

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.

Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
