"Love, all agreeable as it is, charms..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“In love deceit almost always outstrips distrust.”

“We do not wish ardently for what we desire only through reason.”

“The defects and faults of the mind are like wounds in the body; after all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind, and they are in continual danger of breaking the skin and bursting out again.”

“That's the way man is, cher monsieur. He has two faces: he can't love without self-love.”

“Love has no age as it is always renewing itself.”

“Does my behavior in respect of love affect nothing? That is because there is not enough love in me.”

“No varnish can hide the grain of the wood; and that the more varnish you put on, the more the grain will express itself.”

“The apparel oft proclaims the man.”

“I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.”
