The Beginning Of My History

Pleasure For Others Is The Only Pleasure Possible To Me. I Assure You I'm Quite Selfish! - I'm Greedy For The Happiness Of Those I Love - And If They Can't Or Won't Be Happy I'm Perfectly Miserable.

Nobody Ever Intends To Be Old.

No One Is Contented In This World, I Believe. There Is Always Something Left To Desire, And The Last Thing Longed For Always Seems The Most Necessary To Happiness.
