Men lose more conquests by their own awkwardness than by any virtue in the woman.
From Ninon de L'Enclos
Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.
Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion.
It is strange that modesty is the rule for women when what they most value in men is boldness.
A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.
A man is given the choice between loving women and understanding them.
If God had to give a woman wrinkles, He might at least have put them on the soles of her feet.
The joy of the mind is the measure of its strength.
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful.
Old age is a woman's hell.
