Women of the world crave excitement.

Love, a pleasant folly; ambition, a serious stupidity.

It is among uneducated women that we may look for the most confirmed gossips. Goethe tells us there is nothing more frightful than bustling ignorance.

In love, everything is true, everything is false; it is the one subject on which one cannot express an absurdity.

In living and in seeing other men, the heart must break or become as bronze.

There aren't many benefactors who don't say, like Satan: All these things will I give you if you bow down and worship me.

Do not suppose opportunity will knock twice at your door.
