[matrimony] Is The Grave Of Love.

Man Is Free; But Not Unless He Believes He Is[.]

When A Sonnet Is Mediocre It Is Bad, For It Should Be Sublime.

When A Man Gets It Into His Head To Do Something, And When He Exclusively Occupies Himself In That Design, He Must Succeed, Whatever The Difficulties. That Man Will Become Grand Vizier Or Pope.

Cultivating Whatever Gave Pleasure To My Senses Was Always The Chief Business Of My Life; I Have Never Found Any Occupation More Important. Feeling That I Was Born For The Sex Opposite Mine, I Have Always Loved It And Done All That I Could To Make Myself Loved By It. I Have Also Been Extravagantly Fond Of Good Food And Irresistibly Drawn By Anything Which Could Excite Curiosity.

I Have Had Friends Who Have Acted Kindly Towards Me, And It Has Been My Good Fortune To Have It In My Power To Give Them Substantial Proofs Of My Gratitude.
