Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

Indiscretion and wickedness, be it known, are first cousins.

Love without desire is a delusion: it does not exist in nature.

Firmness is great; persistency is greater.

The less heart, the more comfort.

There are no perfect women in the world; only hypocrites exhibit no defects.

Soft moonlight and tender love harmonize together wonderfully.
