In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past — a pious guardian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared.”One can be a soldier without dying, and a lover without sighing.”When Death to either shall come — I pray it be first to me.”A man can go from being a lover to being a stranger in three moves flat but a woman under the guise of friendship will engage in acts of duplicity which come to light very much later. There are different species of self-justification.”A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.”The more one loves a mistress, the more one is ready to hate her.”I would not miss your face, your neck, your hands, your limbs, your bosom and certain other of your charms. Indeed, not to become boring by naming them all, I could do without you, Chloe, altogether.”These two imparadised in one another’s arms, the happier Eden, shall enjoy their fill of bliss on bliss.”Scratch a lover, and find a foe.”You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination.”The one who loves least controls the relationship.”Passion costs me too much to bestow it on every trifle.”There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.”Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.”In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.”Do what you love. Know you own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.
