More quotes by Jeanne Julie Éléonore de Lespinasse
Benevolence rejuvenates the heart, exercise, the memory, and remembrance, life.
A woman would be in despair if nature had formed her as fashion makes her appear.
Calumny spreads like an oil-spot: we endeavor to cleanse it, but the mark remains.
It is the merit of those who praise that makes the value of the commendation.

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.
