More quotes by George Etherege
Next to the coming to a good understanding with a new mistress, I love a quarrel with an old one.
Writing, madam, is a mechanic part of wit. A gentleman should never go beyond a song or a billet.

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.
