“Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.”

“How does one cure the soul? Through the senses”

“Sins of the flesh are nothing. They are maladies for physicians to cure, if they should be cured. Sins of the soul alone are shameful.”

“Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman”

“The soul is a terrible reality. It can be bought and sold and bartered away.”

“nothing that is worth knowing can be taught”

“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. ”
