“Love between man and woman is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse, and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse.”
“Why is patience so important?""Because it makes us pay attention.”
“Heaven grant me patience! Clothes are very important," said Anne severely”
“No worse fate can befall a young man or woman than becoming prematurely entrenched in prudence and negation.”
“What was romance but a lovely bit of play between man and woman?”
