Pierre Corneille
  • Deceit is the game of petty spirits, and that is by nature a woman's quality.

  • Peace is produced by war.

  • A true king is neither husband nor father he considers his throne and nothing else.

  • Master of the universe but not of myself, I am the only rebel against my absolute power.

  • We never taste a perfect joy our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.
