She grieves sincerely who grieves unseen.

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!

If pale beans bubble for you in a red earthenware pot, you can often decline the dinners of sumptuous hosts.

Some things are good, some middling, more bad.

While you remain at home your hair is at the hairdresser's; you take out your teeth at night and sleep tucked away in a hundred cosmetics boxes - even your face does not sleep with you.

I do not hate the man, but his vices.

He truly sorrows who sorrows unseen.
