Additional quotes by François de La Rochefoucauld

Μου αρέσουν τα αναγνώσματα κάθε λογής, ιδιαιτέρως εκείνα που μπορούν να καλλιεργήσουν το μυαλό και να δυναμώσουν την ψυχή πάνω απ' όλα, δοκιμάζω μέγιστη απόλαυση στο να διαβάζω μαζί μ' έναν άνθρωπο ευφυή, μια που έτσι μπορείς να στοχάζεσαι διαρκώς πάνω σ' εκείνα που διαβάζεις, και τέτοιοι στοχασμοί σχηματίζουν τα θεμέλια για την πιο απολαυστική και επωφελή συνομιλία.
