Amphitryon

“Let us cease these reproaches and remain what we are. Let us not give men cause to laugh by telling each other the truth.”

“Notwithstanding this, our infatuated hearts cling to the empty honour of remaining near them, contented with the false idea, which every one holds, that we are happy.”

“To thrash a man who does not retaliate is not the act of a generous soul; and to show courage against men who have none merits condemnation.”

“The expectation of an ardently longed for return makes each moment seem of great length; the absence of what we love, however brief it may be, is always too long.”
