More From Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

- "The lovesick, the betrayed, and the jealous all smell alike."

- "The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a manageable proportion."― Dwight D. Eisenhower
