One cannot but mistrust a prospect of felicity: one must enjoy it before one can believe in it.
I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.
I have a heart to love all the world; and like Alexander I wish there were yet other worlds, so I could carry even further my amorous conquests.
How strange it is to see with how much passion People see things only in their own fashion!
To live without loving is not really to live.
You are a fool in four letters, my son.
