I Don't Conquer, I Submit.

When A Man Is In Love Very Little Is Enough To Throw Him Into Despair And As Little To Enhance His Joy To The Utmost.

Desires Are But Pain And Torment, And Enjoyment Is Sweet Because It Delivers Us From Them.

Man Is Free; Yet We Must Not Suppose That He Is At Liberty To Do Everything He Pleases, For He Becomes A Slave The Moment He Allows His Actions To Be Ruled By Passion.

The Philosopher Is A Person Who Refuses No Pleasures Which Do Not Produce Greater Sorrows, And Who Knows How To Create New Ones.

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.
