“There are times when I am so unlike myself that I might be taken for someone else of an entirely opposite character.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions

“She was dull, unattractive, couldn't tell the time, count money or tie her own shoe laces... But I loved her”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.”
― Jean Jacques Rousseau

“I know the feelings of my heart, and I know men. I am not made like any of those I have seen; I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different. Whether Nature has acted rightly or wrongly in destroying the mould in which she cast me, can only be decided after I have been read.”
― Jean Jacques Rousseau, Confessions
