“Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.”

Many people claim coffee inspires them, but, as everybody knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring.

Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane.

There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.

A man wastes his time going to hear some of our eloquent modern preachers; they may change his opinions, but never his conduct.

We love because we love.

No woman dares to refuse love without a motive, for nothing is more natural than to yield to love.

He who best knows the world will love it least.

I Became a free woman when I decided to stop dreaming, freedom that is waiting for nothing .. and anticipation is a state of slavery

Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory.
