Memory is ever active, ever true. Alas, if it were only as easy to forget!
One must choose between loving women and knowing them.
There are no perfect women in the world; only hypocrites exhibit no defects.
A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.
I have always sworn to my lovers to love them eternally, but for me eternity is a quarter of an hour.
The joy of the mind is the measure of its strength.
