Henry Brooks Adams Quotes

Morality is a private and costly luxury.

Henry Brooks Adams

You say that love is nonsense. ... I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain an ache about the heart never leaving one by night or by day a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism not intolerable at any one instant but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.

Henry Brooks Adams

Every man should have a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.
