Love is the only passion which suffers neither past nor future.

They [twin beds] are the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most dangerous invention in the world. Shame and a curse on who thought of them.

Show me the woman, however loyal, who does not seek to rouse desire.

Men are such dupes by choice, that he who would impose upon others never need be at a loss to find ready victims.

A naked woman is less dangerous than one who spreads her skirt skillfully to cover and exhibit everything at once.
