Quote

Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things

The only true gift is a portion of yourself

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies

One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius
