"Old age: A great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold, you may have escaped, not from…" — Platon

When a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and courageous feelings, seek for no other rule to judge the event by; it is good and made by a good workman

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together

I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.

Politeness makes one appear outwardly as they should be within

At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone
