Love is a madness, and he who is not mad is not in love.

The only way to escape from the miseries of life is to forget them.

I have always been of the opinion that a woman who is not a fool is not a woman.

I have always found that the most pleasing women are those who have the least to say.

The more I travel, the more I realize that the human heart is the same everywhere.
