In married life affection comes when people thoroughly dislike each other.
Passion makes one think in a circle.
To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.
For lovers to elope is cowardly; it is running away from danger; and danger has become so rare in modern life.
Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect: simply a confession of failures.
How exaggerated is the importance of faith! Even in love it is but physiological, indipendently from will. Young men want to be faithful, and are not: old men want to be faithless and cannot.
The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden. It ends with Revelations.
Who, being loved, is poor?
Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know loves tragedies.
