Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love (of coffee).
Noir comme le diable, chaud comme l'enfer, pur comme un ange, doux comme l'amour.

More quotes by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord
You do not play then at whist, sir! Alas, what a sad old age you are preparing for yourself!
Whoever did not live in the years neighboring 1789 does not know what the pleasure of living means.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
