When a man is in love he endures more than at other times; he submits to everything

In revenge and in love, woman is more barbarous than man

Woman understands children better than man does, but man is more childlike than woman

This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

...all that is rare is for the rare.

The man loves danger and sport. That is why he loves woman, the most dangerous of all sports.
