Man can start with aversion and end with love, but if he begins with love and comes round to aversion he will never get back to love.

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

Isn't it really quite extraordinary to see that, since man took his first step, no one has asked himself why he walks, how he walks, if he has ever walked, if he could walk better, what he achieves in walking .. questions that are tied to all the philosophical, psychological, and political systems which preoccupy the world.

We do not wish success yet we obtain it. Always we find what we are not looking for. These words are too true not to become a proverb some day.
