If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.

Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.

If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.

Happiness is composed of misfortunes avoided.
