If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye... - Honore de Balzac

"A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea."

"Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other."

"Love is the poetry of the senses!"

"Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other."

"True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart."
