Whatever good things people say of us, they tell us nothing new.

We often boast that we are never bored; but yet we are so conceited that we do not perceive how often we bore others.

Passion often makes fools of the wisest men and gives the silliest wisdom.

Women know not the whole of their coquetry.

There is many a virtuous woman weary of her trade.

Sometimes in life situations develop that only the half-crazy can get out of.

We often pride ourselves on even the most criminal passions, but envy is a timid and shamefaced passion we never dare to acknowledge.
