Some there are who are much more ashamed of confessing a sin than of committing it.
As two unhappy people often will, the one sought out the other.
They cry sour grapes when the object of their desires is beyond their grasp.
Blessed is he who has it in his power to do evil, yet does it not.
All Marguerite de Navarre quotes →
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.
