There is always a moment in the pyramid of our lives when the apex is reached.
The less heart, the more comfort.
What is death, after all? We leave only mortals behind us.
A woman should not take a lover without the consent of her heart, nor a husband without the consent of her reason.
The passions do not die out; they burn out.
If God had to give a woman wrinkles, He might at least have put them on the soles of her feet.
