The road is a long one from the projection of a thing to its accomplishment.
To create a public scandal is what's wicked; to sin in private is not a sin.
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Betrayed and wronged in everything, Iโll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where Iโll be free to have an honest heart. - Moliรจre, The Misanthrope
Things are only worth what you make them worth.
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
