Years Do Not Always Make Age.

If They Are Ignorant, They Are Despised, If Learned, Mocked. In Love They Are Reduced To The Status Of Courtesans. As Wives They Are Treated More As Servants Than As Companions. Men Do Not Love Them: They Make Use Of Them, They Exploit Them, And Expect, In That Way, To Make Them Subject To The Law Of Fidelity.

No Human Being Can Control Love, And No One Is To Blame Either For Feeling It Or For Losing It. What Alone Degrades A Woman Is Falsehood.

Gossiping Is The Plague Of Little Towns.

Lying, Like License, Has Its Degrees.

I Have No Enthusiasm For Nature Which The Slightest Chill Will Not Instantly Destroy.
