Most anthologists of poetry or quotations are like those who eat cherries or oysters, first picking the best and ending by eating everything.
Swallow a toad in the morning and you will encounter nothing more disgusting the rest of the day.
Where violence reigns, reason is weak.
The great always sell their society to the vanity of the little.
There are more people who wish to be loved than there are who are willing to love.
What we love intensely or for a long time we are likely to bring within the citadel, and to assert as part of oneself.
