Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Once you teach people to say what they do not understand, it is easy enough to get them to say anything you like.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A person who can break wind is not dead.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The writings of women are always cold and pretty like themselves. There is as much wit as you may desire, but never any soul.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For it is in our nature to endure patiently the decrees of fate, but not the ill-will of others.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is in man's heart that the life of nature's spectacle exists to see it, one must feel it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Gracefulness cannot subsist without ease delicacy is not debility nor must a woman be sick in order to please. Infirmity, and sickness may excite our pity, but desire and pleasure require the bloom and vigor of health.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The man who meditates is a depraved animal.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I loved too sincerely, too completely, I venture to say, to be able to be happy easily.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
