There's a law in life: whenever a door closes, a new one will open.

Too chaste an adolescence makes for a dissolute old age. It is doubtless easier to give up something one has known than something one imagines.

Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.

Wisdom comes not from reason but from love.

Then you think that one can keep a hopeless love in one's heart for so long as that?...And that life can breathe upon it every day, without extinguishing it?

Our judgements about things vary according to the time left us to live -that we think is left us to live.

'Therefore' is a word the poet must not know.
