Do not sanction an absurdity.

Sensibility cannot be acquired; people are born thus, or they have it not.

Ah! the spendthrift, love: it gives all and everything with the first sigh!

If you want to succeed in the world it is necessary, when entering a salon, that your vanity should bow to that of others.

In our lonely hours we awake those sleeping images with which our memories are stored, and vitalize them again.

Do not sanction an absurdity.
