In this world, you must be a bit too kind to be kind enough.
—Pierre de Marivaux
There seems to me a thousand occasions when my soul knows more than it can tell, and a has a spirit of it’s own which is far superior to my everyday one. It seems to me too, that men are far superior to all the books they write.
—Pierre de Marivaux
