Simplicity is the most deceitful mistress that ever betrayed man.

Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

They know enough who know how to learn.

Society is immoral and immortal; it can afford to commit any kind of folly, and indulge in any sort of vice; it cannot be killed, and the fragments that survive can always laugh at the dead.

Every man who has at last succeeded, after long effort, in calling up the divinity which lies hidden in a woman's heart, is startled to find that he must obey the God he summoned.
