"People would never fall in love if..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

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

“What makes lovers never tire of one another is that they talk always about themselves.”

“We are eager to believe that others are flawed because we are eager to believe in what we wish for.”

“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”

“Love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

“Where confidence is wanting, the most beautiful flower in the garland of love is missing.”

“Don't impose your will through manipulation of aggressive emotions and actions.”

“It is not good for one's morals to see bad acting”

“The flute is not an instrument that has a good moral effect - it is too exciting.”
