Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.

Les Femmes Savantes (1672)

The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them;
It is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.

Le Misanthrope (1666)

If you wish to love, it shall be, by my faith, for their beautiful eyes.

It is a wonderful seasoning of all enjoyments to think of those we love.

Le Misanthrope (1666)

The flower called heliotrope turns without ceasing to that star of the day, so also my heart henceforth will turn itself always towards the resplendent stars of your adorable eyes, as towards its only pole.

Love is often a fruit of marriage.
