Nothing recalls the past like music.
A man must know how to fly in the face of opinion; a woman to submit to it.
One must, in one's life, make a choice between boredom and suffering.
It is not enough to forgive; one must forget.
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion!
