The more one judges, the less one loves. - Honore de Balzac

"Reading brings us unknown friends"

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

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

"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."

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