Marguerite de Navarre

“Un malheureux cherche l'autre.”

“No one ever perfectly loved God who did not perfectly love some of his creatures in this world.”

“To me it seems much better to love a woman as a woman, than to make her one's idol, as many do. For my part, I am convinced that it is better to use than to abuse.”

“I have heard much of these languishing lovers, but I never yet saw one of them die for love.”
