There are other things besides beauty with which to captivate the hearts of men. The Italians have a saying: "Fair is not fair, but that which pleaseth.

I have always sworn to my lovers to love them eternally, but for me eternity is a quarter of an hour.

Fair is not fair, but that which pleaseth.

The passions do not die out; they burn out.

Glances are the first billets-doux of love.

There is a certain time of life, when we value a good stomach more than the mind.

What is death, after all? We leave only mortals behind us.
