love husband odes
The pleasures of love proceed successively from a distich to a quatrain, from a quatrain to a sonnet, from a sonnet to a ballad, from a ballad to an ode, from an ode to a cantata, and from a cantata to a dithyramb. A husband who begins with the dithyramb is a fool.
love two feelings
Though your vulgarian does not readily admit that feelings can change overnight, certainly two lovers often part far more abruptly than they came together.
love love-is making-love
To speak of love is to make love.
love sea soul
Vulgar souls look hastily and superficially at the sea and accuse it of monotony; other more privileged beings could spend a lifetime admiring it and discovering new and changing phenomena that delight them. So it is with love.
love heart light
Women see everything or nothing according to the inclination of their hearts. Love is their sole light.
love heart teeth
You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
love art simple
Love is not only a feeling, it is also an art. A simple word, a sensitive precaution, a mere nothing reveal to a woman the sublime artist who can touch her heart without withering it.
love self-love
Love endows us with a sort of personal religion; we respect another live within ourselves.
love passion vanity
Love based upon money and vanity forms the most stubborn of passions.
love work men
Love and work have the virtues of making a man pretty indifferent to anything else.
love growing firsts
In the first woman we love, we love everything. Growing older, we love the woman only.
love mistake men
In love, what a woman mistakes for disgust is actually clearsightedness. If she does not admire a man, she scorns him.
love expression actions-speak-louder-than-words
Authentic love always assumes the mystery of modesty, even in its expression, because actions speak louder than words. Unlike a feigned love, it feels no need to set a conflagration.
love men rivals
Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.
