The same wind that extinguishes a light can set a brazier on fire.
Plays, gentlemen, are to their authors what children are to women: they cost more pain than they give pleasure.
Honest men love women; those who deceive them adore them.
Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough.
Today if something is not worth saying, people sing it.
I grant men the land, the government, the wealth, all the chances. I accept that you have to hold all the cards, since that's the only way you know how to play; but I refuse to swallow your disrespect.
