The passions are the only orators which always persuade.

We rarely think people have good sense unless they agree with us.

I always say to myself, what is the most important thing we can think about at this extraordinary moment.

Women can more easily conquer their passion than their coquetterie.

There are some who never would have loved if they never had heard it spoken of.

If there be a love pure and free from the admixture of our other passions, it is that which lies hidden in the bottom of our heart, and which we know not ourselves.

When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity.
