You can master pain, but not doubt You are not married, you are simply chained You have not to be told that I desire your happiness above all You are to imagine that they know everything You may learn to know yourself through love You want me to flick your indecision You saw nothing but handkerchiefs out all over the theatre You played for gain, and that was a licenced thieving You'll have to guess at half of everything he tells you You'll tell her you couldn't sit down in her presence undressed You're the puppet of your women! You're talking to me, not to a gallery You're a rank, right-down widow, and no mistake You're going to be men, meaning something better than women You've got no friend but your bed Young as when she looked upon the lovers in Paradise Your devotion craves an enormous exchange Youth will not believe that stupidity and beauty can go together Youth is not alarmed by the sound of big sums If you wish to read the entire context of any of these quotations, select a short segment and copy it into your clipboard memory--then open the following eBook and paste the phrase into your computer's find or search operation.
