Memory is ever active, ever true. Alas, if it were only as easy to forget!
The passions do not die out; they burn out.
Love without desire is a delusion: it does not exist in nature.
Ennui, the parent of expensive and ruinous vices.
Men lose more conquests by their own awkwardness than by any virtue in the woman.
There are no perfect women in the world; only hypocrites exhibit no defects.
