Wounded pride can take a rich young man far who is surrounded by flatterers since birth.
Stendhal
I do not feel I have wisdom enough yet to love what is ugly.
Stendhal
When you want to court a woman, court her sister first
Stendhal
The sight of anything extremely beautiful, in nature or in art, brings back the memory of what one loves, with the speed of lightning.
