In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love

What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.

Man's love is of man's life a part; it is a woman's whole existence. In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.

A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover but will sooner or later find a tyrant.

To dream of love & wake up beside your lover is divinity itself.

There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
