Love Is The Only Passion Which Suffers

In France Everything Is A Matter For Jest. People Make Quips About The Scaffold, About Napoleon's Defeat On The Banks Of The Beresina, And About The Barricades Of Our Revolutions. So, At The Assizes Of The Last Judgment, There Will Always Be A Frenchmen To Crack A Joke.

The Parisan, Sauntering The Streets Idly, Is As Often A Man In Despair As A Lounger.

Imagination Helps The Realism Of Every Detail, And Only Sees The Beauties Of The Work.

But Also Remember: If You Have Any Genuine Feelings, Hide Them Like Treasure; Never Let Anyone So Much As Suspect Them, Or You're Lost. Instead Of Being The Executioner, You'll Be The Victim. And If You Ever Fall In Love, Keep That Absolutely Secret! Never Breathe A Word Until You're Completely Sure Of The Person To Whom You Open Your Heart. And To Protect That Love, Even Before You Feel It, Learn To Despise The World.

Marriage Is An Institution Necessary To The Maintenance Of Society But Contrary To The Laws Of Nature.
