"We easily forget crimes that are known..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Happiness is in the taste, and not in the things.”

“The vivacity that augments with years is not far from folly.”

“Great names abase, instead of elevating, those who do not know how to bear them.”

“Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent, but the tests that have to be applied to them are not, of course, the same in all cases.”

“Men hate those to whom they have to lie.”

“A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.”

“maybe she had become tired of being the girlfriend of a condemned man. It also occured to me that maybe she was sick, or dead. These things happen. [...] Anyway, after that, remembering Marie meant nothing to me. That seemed perfectly normal to me, since I understood very well that people would forget me when I was dead.”

“Yea from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records.”

“It might seem as the hardest thing to do, but you have to forget the guy who forgot about you.”
