Oh! how many times we die before death!

If you can attain repose and calm, believe that you have seized happiness.

I read what I feel, and not what I see.

none but the unhappy are worthy of friends; if your soul had never suffered never could you have entered mine.

You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.

I love the abandonment to impulse, I act from impulse only, and I love to madness that others do the same by me.

You soothe my soul. You fill it with so tender a sentiment that it is sweet to live during the time that I see you.
