“Life and a lover”
“There are books . . . which rank in our life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences.”
“In novels, women run off with their lovers. In real life, women stay.”
“Apart the lovers could neither live nor die, for it was life and death together..”
“I embrace Fate like a lover. All my life, Fate has wished to be my lover and tried to govern me. Now I turn to submit to his embraces.”
“There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.”
