Who said “The advantage of love at first sight is that it delays a second sight.”?

“Where both deliberate, the love is slight: Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight?”

“I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be. We generally make up our minds beforehand to the sort of person we should like, grave or gay, black, brown, or fair; with golden tresses or raven locks; -- and when we meet with a complete example of the qualities we admire, the bargain is soon struck.”

“If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.”

“Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.”

“Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists when you can ignore them like wise men?”

“We know all their gods; they ignore ours. What they call our sins are our gods, and what they call their gods, we name otherwise.”

“Eternity -- waste of time.”

“Novels are longer than life.”
