Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
From Lord Byron
What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.
There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
It is very iniquitous to make me pay my debts, you have no idea of the pain it gives one.
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
There are four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.
Who loves, raves.
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
