There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. (Il n'y a qu'un bonheur dans la vie, c'est d'aimer et d'être aimé.)
Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.
Vanity is the quicksand of reason.
No human creature can give orders to love.
Women love always: when earth slips from them, they take refuge in heaven.
Every historian discloses a new horizon.
