Conceal your purpose and hide your progress: do not disclose the extent of your designs until they cannot be opposed, until the combat is over. Win the victory before you declare the war. In a word, imitate those warlike people whose designs are not known except by ravaged country through which they have passed.

People get from books the idea that if you have married the right person you may expect to go on "being in love" forever. As a result, when they find they are not, they think this proves they have made a mistake and are entitled to a change — not realising that, when they have changed, the glamour will presently go out of the new love just as it went out of the old one. In this department of life, as in every other, thrills come at the beginning and do not last.

how we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfuntion. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm—and constant. #frombook
How I love this quote damn. Every time I read it, it strikes me as if it’s my first.
