Few Persons Enjoy Real Liberty; We Are

Few Persons Enjoy Real Liberty; We Are All Slaves To Ideas Or Habits.

Nothing Is A Sin When You Obey The Orders Of A Priest

One Must Not Trifle With Love

I See That You Believe In Love Such As The Poets And Romancers Have Represented... The Poets Represent Love As The Sculptors Design Beauty, As The Musicians Create Melody; That Is To Say, Endowed With An Exquisite Nervous Organization, They Gather Up With Discerning Ardor The Purest Elements Of Life, The Most Beautiful Lines Of Matter, And The Most Harmonious Voices Of Nature.... To Try To Find In Real Life Such Love As This, Eternal And Absolute, Is The Same Thing As To Seek On The Public Squares Such A Woman As Venus Or To Expect Nightingales To Sing The Symphonies Of Beethoven.

Partake Of Love As A Temperate Man Partakes Of Wine; Do Not Become Intoxicated.
