"It is not every man's fate to marry the woman who loves him best."

"In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels."

"She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything; her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation."

"It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before."

"The enthusiasm of a woman's love is even beyond the biographer's."

"A woman can be beautiful as well as intellectual."
