No woman has ever existed who did not know perfectly well in her heart what to expect from the superiority or inferiority of a rival.
Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles.
Nothing is irredeemably ugly but sin.
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.
Sometimes, one gesture comprises an entire drama, the accent of one word ruins an entire existence, and the indifference of one glance kills the happiest passion.
