“Whatever side I take, I know well that I shall be blamed.”

“I shall see.”

“First feelings are always the most natural”

“Why do you weep? Did you think I was immortal?”

“If the wind is favorable, I shall set off tomorrow...I am hazarding my life, that I may incommode your affairs..If I die, believe that you will lose a person who has never been other than entirely yours, and who by her affection has deserved that you should not forget her”

“When a thing has been said and said well, have no scruple. Take it and copy it.”

“When anything bad happens to me or someone I know, I always know who to blame. My no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.”
