“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Whom then to credit? Whom to treasure?
On whom alone can we depend?
Who is there who will truly measure his acts and words to suit our end?
Who'll sow no calumnies around us?
Whose fond attentions will astound us?
Who'll never fault our vices, or whom shall we never find a bore?
Don't let a ghost be your bear-leader. don't waste your efforts on the air.
Just let yourself be your whole care, your loved one, honourable reader!
Deserving object: there can be nothing more lovable than he.”
