“It is with true love as with ghosts and apparitions: Every one talks of it, and scarcely any one has seen it”
“True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.”
“All passions make us commit faults, but love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.”
“In the human heart one generation of passions follows another; from the ashes of one springs the spark of the next.”
“Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.”
“Of all our faults, the one that we excuse most easily is idleness.”
“He who lives without folly is not as wise as he may think.”
