Why is youth so short and age so long?
The joy of a strong nature is as cloudless as its suffering is desolate.
Opposition to a man in love is like oil to fire.
When passion and habit long lie in company it is only slowly and with incredulity that habit awakens to finds its companion fled, itself alone.
Indifference is the invisible giant of the world.
It needs a great nature to bear the weight of a great gratitude.
