More quotes by Pierre Beaumarchais
I hasten to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to weep.
Calumniate, calumniate; there will always be something which sticks.
It is not necessary to retain facts that we may reason concerning them.

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.
