More quotes by Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
None are so inconsiderate as those who demand nothing of life other than their own personal comfort.
Consider well before you immerse yourself in solitude whether your own company will be good for you.
Enthusiasm does not always speak for those who arouse it, but always for those who experience it.
The world belongs to those who possess it, and is scorned by those to whom it should belong.

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.
