La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid

A man enjoys the happiness he feels, a woman the happiness she gives.

Don't you remember that love, like medicine, is only the art of encouraging nature?

It was there, in particular, that I confirmed the truth that love, which we cry up as the source of our pleasures, is nothing more than an excuse for them.

...it is not for the illusion of a moment to govern the choice of a lifetime.
