Quote by Andre Maurois (1885-1967)

• We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity - gunpowder and romantic love.

• Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form.

• In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.

• If men could regard the events of their lives with more open minds they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the thing they failed to obtain.
