It is a mania shared by philosophers of all ages to deny what exists and to explain what does not exist.
Women speak at an earlier age, more easily, and more agreeably than men; they are accused also of speaking more; this is as it should be, and I willingly change the reproach into a eulogy.
O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.
