There is a moment when you can not touch an opus any more: it's when its at its worst.
One may be lead to cheat for an excess of delicacy.
Fashion is a Queen and sometimes a slave.

The only beautiful eyes are those watching us tenderly.
The ear's delicacy is not always related to the hearts.
Through "coquetry" even women's course of time stops.
There are gestures of love and tenderness which originate only in devotion.
Our houses are our prisons; let's find our freedom in the way we decorate them.
One can get use to ugliness, never to neglect.
It is typical of a weak spirit to boast about qualities that only chance can dispense.
