Women sometimes allow you to be unfaithful to their love; they never allow you to wound their self-esteem.

We are not allowed to have hearts, under penalty of being hooted down.

Love without esteem cannot go far or reach high. It is an angel with only one wing.

Be good, be young, be true! Evil is nothing but vanity, let us have the pride of good, and above all let us never despair.

Everything was believed except the truth.

We must have done something very wicked before we were born, or else we must be going to be very happy indeed when we are dead, for God to let this life have all the tortures of expiation and all the sorrows of an ordeal.

Memory is a paradise out of which fate cannot drive us.
