I know that human happiness never remains long in the same place.
I will never again attempt to tell any young person what to do - the really gifted don't need advice and the others can't take it.

One little human truth is that opinionated people don't hold much with other people's opinions, and it is a great pleasure to some of them to be able to ascribe incurable defects, such as belonging to a certain sex; or base motives, or lack of understanding, to anyone whose views they disagree with.
