Days of absence, sad and dreary,
More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Every blue-stocking will remain a spinster as long as there are sensible men on the earth.
A blue-stocking is the scourge of her husband, children, friends, servants, and every one.

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.
