You pay for everything


You pay for everything you get in this world. You get nothing for nothing. Little happiness – little pain. Big happiness – big price. Everything comes out even.


- Harold Robbins

Some impulses are stronger


Some impulses are stronger than we are, have proved themselves so throughout the world's history. Is it not rather our ideals of conduct, of Right and Wrong, our ethics, which are unnatural and monstrously distorted? Is society not suffering from a case of the evil eye which sees evil where there is none? Isn't it our moral laws which force me into evasions like the one which you have just found fault with?"

Eugene O’ Neill
