When they are among us cats are angels

No human being can control love, and no one is to blame either for feeling it or for losing it. What alone degrades a woman is falsehood.

Sorrow makes us very good or very bad.

The lessons of experience are always learned too late.

And I refused to make any sacrifices; for nothing on earth seemed more valuable than my peace of mind, my pleasure and my acclaim.

Women love always: when earth slips from them, they take refuge in heaven.

It seems to me that the earth belongs to God who made it and entrusted it to men as a perpetual home. But it cannot have been part of His plan that some men should be ill with overfeeding and that others should die of starvation. No matter what anyone can say they cannot prevent me from feeling sad and angry when I see a beggar crying at a rich man's door.
