Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know, because there is no hope of a cure.
Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.
Ideas consume the ages as passions consume men. When man is cured, humanity may possibly cure itself.
Great passions are hopeless diseases. That which could cure them is the first thing to make them really dangerous.
Defeat is a disease, and victory is the cure.
Absence, that common cure of love.
