More quotes by Paul Bourget
There is only one thing infamous in love, and that is a falsehood.
At certain moments, words are nothing; it is the tone in which they are uttered.
The cruelest revenge of a woman is to remain faithful to a man.
There are conditions of blindness so voluntary that they become complicity.

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.
