I noticed that she wore her evening dress, all her dresses, like sports clothes-there was a jauntiness about her movements as if she had first learned to walk upon a golf course on clean, crisp, mornings.

Love is a word said by every one but is felt by few

¿Cómo puede uno comer cuando el corazón está ocupado?

I feel only sorrow that I have failed to please.

Resentment, the empress says, is like a snake that nests in the bosom, and it can turn and strike her who harbors it.
