When we are dead we are praised by those who survive us, though we frequently have no other merit than that of being no longer alive.

Jean de la BruyereAn inconstant woman is one who is no longer in love; a false woman is one who is already in love with another person; a fickle woman is she who neither knows whom she loves nor whether she loves or not; and the indifferent woman, one who does not love at all.
