"Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species." ― W. Somerset Maugham Topic(s): Love More From W. Somerset Maugham "The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind." "Men have an extraordinarily erroneous opinion of their position in nature; and the error is ineradicable." "What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one’s faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one’s memories." More In Love "We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end."― Benjamin Disraeli "Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time."― Maya Angelou "Love is a better teacher than duty."― Albert Einstein
