Friendship has its illusions no less than love.
If you don't love me, it does not matter, anyway I can love for both of us.
All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.
Love has always been the most important business in my life; I should say the only one.
For the future, I shall rely only upon those elements of my character which I have tested. Who would ever have said that I should find pleasure in shedding tears? That I should love the man who proves to me that I am nothing more than a fool?
There are as many styles of beauty as there are visions of happiness.
