The joy of the mind is the measure of its strength.

Who has not raised a tombstone, here and there, over buried hopes and dead joys, on the road of life? Like the scars of the heart, they are not to be obliterated.

Old age is a woman's hell.

There is always a moment in the pyramid of our lives when the apex is reached.

Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion.

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.

Glances are the first billets-doux of love.
