“You'll love again, but you must teach your heart some self-restraint; for each and every man won't understand it as I have... learn from my belief that inexperience leads to grief.”
― Pushkin Aleksandr Sergeevich, Евгений Онегин

“For me, nothing is more dangerous than recollection. Once I have recalled some life-situation it ceases to exist. People say that separation helps to revive love. That is quite true, but it revives it purely in a poetic way. A life in recollection is the most perfect imaginable; memory gives you your fill more abundantly than all of reality and has a security which no reality possesses.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

“My friend,” said the orator to him, “do you believe the Pope to be the Anti-Christ?”

“I have never heard anyone say so,” answered Candide; “but whether he be or no, I am hungry."

"You do not deserve to eat! Hence, scoundrel! Away, wretch! Come not near me for your life!"
The orator's wife had been looking out of a window overhead. Seeing a man who doubted whether the Pope was anti-Christ. she emptied a chamber pot upon his head- an example of the excesses to which women are driven by religious zeal.”
― Voltaire, Candide
