THOUGHTS ON...

THOUGHTS ON. . .


Love, in the form in which it exists in society, is nothing but the exchange of two fantasies and the superficial contact of two bodies.

Nicolas Chamfort (1741 - 1794)
French writer.
(Maximes et pensées)


Love's pleasure lasts but a moment; love's sorrow lasts all through life.

Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755 - 1794)
French playwright and novelist.


Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.

Oscar Hammerstein II (1895 - 1960)
U.S. lyricist and librettist.
Song lyric.
South Pacific, "Some Enchanted Evening"


By the time you say you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying—
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.

Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)
U.S. writer and wit.
Unfortunate Coincidence
