Love is the only way on which even the dim-witted reaches certain heights.
Women? In order to realize how far these charming creatures we idealize can carry their cruelty, we must see them among themselves!
Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart like a viper in its hole.
No frozen-hearted woman ever I laid eyes on but has made duty her religion.
Men are so made that they can resist sound argument, and yet yield to a glance.
I'm a great poet. I don't put my poems on paper: they consist of actions and feelings.
