What is it that love does to a woman? Without she only sleeps with it alone, she lives.

In an easy matter. Anybody can be eloquent.

The purpose of law is to prevent the strong always having their way.

There is no such thing as pure, unalloyed pleasure; some bitter ever mingles with the sweet.

Let ancient times delight other folk, I rejoice that I was not born till now.

Dripping water hollows out a stone

The pleasure that is granted to me from a sense of duty ceases to be a pleasure at all.
