We grow old more through indolence, than through age
Nuns and married women are equally unhappy, if in different ways
There is a star above us which unites souls of the first order, though worlds and ages separate them
God has neither form nor shape under which we can know Him; when he speaks of Himself in metaphors and similes, He is adapting Himself to our foolishness, our limited capacity
I love men, not because they are men, but because they are not women
Life becomes useless and insipid when we have no longer either friends or enemies.
Dignity is like a perfume; those who use it are scarcely conscious of it
As you know, no one over thirty years of age is afraid of tittle-tattle. I myself find it much less difficult to strangle a man than to fear him.
