Love is the poetry of the senses! - Honore de Balzac

"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."

"for a woman knows the face of the man she loves like a sailor knows the open sea"

"If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye."

"The more one judges, the less one loves."

"And he, like many jaded people, had few pleasures left in life save good food and drink."
