“Surely every one realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen.”
“Certainly paradise, whatever, wherever it be, contains flaws. (Paradisical flaws, if you like.) If it did not, it would be incapable of drawing the hearts of men or angels.”
