Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.

Women defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrenders.

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
