"All the passions are nothing else than different degrees of heat and cold of the blood." — François VI. de La Rochefoucauld

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end

If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee

My love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, both are infinite.

I will indulge my sorrows, and give way to all the pangs and fury of despair

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable

I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.

François VI. de La Rochefoucauld Quote
