They ended as all great passions do end - by a misunderstanding.

No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.

Nature endows woman alternately with a particular strength which helps her to suffer and a weakness which counsels her to be resigned.

In love, what a woman mistakes for disgust is actually clearsightedness. If she does not admire a man, she scorns him.

True love rules especially through memory.

It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.

Do you know how a man makes his way here? By brilliant genius or by skilful corruption. You must either cut your way through these masses of men like a cannon ball, or steal among them like a plague.
