Women are silver dishes into which we put golden apples.

There is nothing by which men display their character so much as in what they consider ridiculous... Fools and sensible men are equally innocuous. It is in the half fools and the half wise that the great danger lies.

Woman is mistress of the art of completely imbittering the life of the person on whom she depends.

Nothing is worse than active ignorance.

Our earthly ball a peopled garden.

In art, the best is good enough.

Experiments are mediators between nature and idea.
