Desire is in men a hunger, in women only an appetite.
Women are the right age for just a few years; men, for most of their lives.
Few of us write great novels; all of us live them.
If the pain wanders, do not waste your time with doctors.
We are never more self-righteous than when giving up what we should have shunned all along.
In youth we are plagued by desire; in later years, by the desire to feel desire.
