“The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.”

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in — what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.

To love or have loved, that is enough.

Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
