Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and kindles fire.
-- François de La Rochefoucauld

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.
-- François de La Rochefoucauld

Who lives without folly isn't as reasonable as he thinks he is.
-- François de La Rochefoucauld
