François de La Rochefoucauld on Love
← Back to François de La Rochefoucauld Profile
“The more we love a mistress, the nearer we are to hating her.”
“The pleasure of love is in loving. We are happier in the passion we feel than in what we excite.”
“Ce qui fait que amants et les maitresses ne s'ennuient point d'être ensemble; c'est qu'ils parlent toujours d'eux mêmes.
The reason why lovers and their mistresses never tire of being together is that they are always talking of themselves.”
