I myself am against premature experiences.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
I am not sure that foreigners should cultivate likes or dislikes about the people they are invited to meet.
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.
No married man is ever attractive except to his wife.
Women always want one to be good, and if we are good when they meet us, they don't love us at all, the like to find us irretrievably bad and to leave us quite unattractively good.
Wicked women bother one. Good women bore one. That is the only difference between them.
Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.
