I haven't any objection to your thoroughly despising me, right now, because I'm convinced you'll come to love me.

Les femmes les plus vertueuses ont en elles quelque chose qui n'est jamais chaste.

It is easier to be a lover than a husband, for the same reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day, than to say bright things from time to time.
