Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars

One drop of wine is enough to redden a whole glass of water.

I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her. Oh! to be laid side by side in the same tomb, hand clasped in hand, and from time to time, in the darkness, to caress a finger gently, that would suffice for my eternity.

...But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over the tears of a repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred just men.

The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.

Earnestness is the salt of eloquence.

Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
