Francois de La Rochefoucauld
  • There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.

  • Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.

  • However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

  • It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.

  • It is not in the power of even the most crafty dissimulation to conceal love long, where it really is, nor to counterfeit it long where it is not.
