Book: Indiana

You tell me about the future and about happiness, but is happiness possible for a person who hates and despises himself.

Unrequited love is as different from the love is mutual, as astray from the truth; their own enthusiasm and impetuosity are so blind us that we are taking such a passion for a strong and true feeling, and only later, having tasted the bliss of true love, we learn how we were deceived.

Pride is inherent in love as well as interest - friendship.

Love - a mutual contract, like marriage.

What for one woman is considered heroic, the other seems to shamelessness.

Our happiness always depends on ourselves, and often only need to reach out to grab it.

Vainglory of men, especially lovers, more flattered to patronize helpless women than to admire their courage.
