• Cuando [los hombres] ven a una mujer bonita, y sienten que se apodera de ellos la deliciosa locura del amor, siempre se detienen a calcular su temperamento, su dinero, su propio dinero, o su idoneidad para la vida matrimonial.... ¡Ja, ja, ja! No nos engañemos más de esta manera. Yo me he enamorado cuarenta y tres veces de mujeres de todo rango y condición, y me habría casado todas las veces si me lo hubieran permitido. ¿Cuántas esposas tuvo el rey Salomón, el más sabio de los hombres? ¿Y no es esa historia una advertencia para nosotros de que el Amor es dueño de los más sabios? Sólo los necios lo desafían.

• Los que hemos vivido antes de que se construyera el ferrocarril pertenecemos a otro mundo. Fue ayer, ¡pero qué abismo hay entre ahora y entonces! Entonces era el viejo mundo. Los carruajes, más o menos veloces, los caballos de montar, los caballos de carga, los salteadores de caminos, los caballeros con armadura, los invasores normandos, las legiones romanas, los druidas, los antiguos británicos pintados de azul, etc., todo eso pertenecía a la época antigua. Pero su ferrocarril inicia la nueva era, y nosotros, los de cierta edad, pertenecemos a la nueva época y a la antigua. Nosotros, que vivimos antes del ferrocarril y sobrevivimos fuera del mundo antiguo, somos como el padre Noé y su familia fuera del Arca.

'Tis not for these reasons we love a woman, or for any special quality or charm I know of; we might as well demand that a lady should be the tallest woman in the world, like the Shropshire giantess, as that she should be a paragon in any other character, before we began to love her.
