Innocence has its instincts, its needs, its physiological dues. - Remy de Gourmont

Women live entirely in the present, men much more in the future where nature is less well organized.

Women feel and it suffices to steer them satisfactorily through life as well as to solve problems which leave men utterly helpless. It is only through feelings one can get in contact with them. There is but one way of understanding women and that is to love them.

The decisive gestures in life are almost always the simplest, the most ingenuous.
