“We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.”

“What is love? two souls and one flesh; friendship? two bodies and one soul.”

“A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.”
