The majority of women have no principles of their own; they are guided by the heart, and depend for their own conduct, upon that of the men they love.
I call worldly or earthly those whose minds and hearts are fixed on a tiny portion of this world they live in, which is our earth; who respect and love nothing beyond it: people as limited as what they call their property or their estate, which can be measured, whose acres can be counted, whose boundaries can be shown.
We are more sociable, and get on better with people by the heart than the intellect.
Some people pretend they never were in love and never wrote poetry; two weaknesses which they dare not own -- one of the heart, the other of the mind.
We never love with all our heart and all our soul but once, and that is the first time.
