The mind's pleasures are made to calm the tempests of the heart.
Nature, who permits no two leaves to be exactly alike, has given a still greater diversity to human minds. Imitation, then, is a double murder; for it deprives both copy and original of their primitive existence.
Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
Men err from selfishness; women because they are weak.
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
