W. Somerset Maugham
  • It's a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

  • Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.

  • We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

  • The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.

  • A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.
