At certain times, men regard poetry merely as a bright flame, but to women it was, and always will be, a warm fire.

I look around me and nowhere do I see a stamp of disapproval with which nature marked a woman's candid brow.

Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun.

The uneducated person perceives only the individual phenomenon, the partly educated person the rule, and the educated person the exception.

History is the zoology of the human race.

I love the pride whose measure is its own eminence and not the insignificance of someone else.

The character of the crowds is made up of mimicry and hostility.

Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it, is important when you need it.

I'm an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.

We live in a world made up more of story than stuff. We are creatures of memory more than reminders, of love more than likes.

Love is not a matter of what happens in life. It's a matter of what's happening in your heart.

I didn't see the time, largely because there wasn't one.

Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If a thing loves, it is infinite.
