"Perfect behavior is born of complete indifference...." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Of all the violent passions, the one that becomes a woman best is love.”

“What we call generosity is for the most part only the vanity of giving; and we exercise it because we are more fond of that vanity than of the thing we give.”

“Our concern for the loss of our friends is not always from a sense of their worth, but rather of our own need of them and that we have lost some who had a good opinion of us.”

“Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.”

“We that are true lovers run into strange capers.”

“Not stepping over the bounds of modesty.”

“I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”

“I could still be forgotten when I'm dead. I don't really care what happens when I'm dead.”

“It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration.”
