The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.

There is a spectacle more grand than the sea; it is heaven; there is a spectacle more grand than heaven; it is the conscience.

Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.

Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower.

A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.

The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.

Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
