Quotes
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
When a man is in love he endures more than at other times, but he submits to it as he submits to the miseries of poverty and the injustices of fate. The happy man, on the contrary, is he who, being in love, has escaped both the poverty and the sufferings of love. How beautiful, then, is love, and how terrible!
A creditor is worse than a slave-owner; for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.
