Love is like epidemic diseases. The more one fears it the more likely one is to contract it.

A fool who has a flash of wit creates astonishment and scandal, like hack-horses setting out to gallop.

A man without nobility cannot have kindliness; he can only have good nature.

In a country where everyone strives for attention, it is better to be bankrupt than to be nothing.

He who leaves the game wins it.

Anyone whose needs are small seems threatening to the rich, because he's always ready to escape their control.

Love is the exchange of two fantasies and the contact of two skins.
