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."

"All happiness depends on courage and work."

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

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

"Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine."
