Andre Maurois
An unsatisfied woman requires luxury, but a woman who is in love with a man will lie on a board.
Andre Maurois
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
Andre Maurois
A man cannot free himself from the past more easily than he can from his own body.
Andre Maurois
It is restful to leave one's home not because traveling does not entail varied and difficult daily actions, but because it removes our responsibilities.
Andre Maurois
