Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton Quotes
The most delicate beauty in the mind of women is, and ever must be, an independence of artificial stimulants for content. It is not so with men.

And hence the larger proportion of men in whom genius is pre-eminent have preferred to live in cities, though some of them have bequeathed to us the loveliest pictures of the rural scenes in which they declined to dwell.
