Lord! I wonder what fool it was that first invented kissing.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

What reason weaves, by passion is undone.

A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.

There is no art without Eros. 

Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations.

No woman needs intercourse; few women escape it.

To love a woman who scorns you is to lick honey from a thorn.
