one who makes no mistakes makes nothing
Be the flame, not the moth.
Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy.
The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.
A man who makes known his love by words is a fool.

Cultivating whatever gave pleasure to my senses was always the chief business of my life; I have never found any occupation more important.

What has infused my very blood with an unconquerable hatred of the whole tribe of fools from the day of my birth is that I become a fool myself when I am in their company.
