The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
-Oscar Wilde
Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.
-George B. Mere
There is no sense of ease like the ease we felt in those scenes where we were born, where objects became dear to us before we had known the labour of choice.
-George Eliot
Like the waves in great rivers, there is no turning back of that which has previously been done…The soul is bound with the fetters made of the fruit of good and evil.
Service without ideal of self…trains you to transcend all the artificial distinctions imposed by history and geography, and to realise that the human community is one and indivisible.
