“A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.”
As quoted in The Stevenson Wit (1965) edited by Bill Adler
L’homme jouit du bonheur qu’il ressent, et la femme de celui qu’elle procure. Cette différence, si essentielle et si peu remarquée, influe pourtant, d'une manière bien sensible, sur la totalité de leur conduite respective. Le plaisir de l’un est de satisfaire des désirs, celui de l’autre est surtout de les faire naître.

“That's what happens when you love someone… you notice and notice and notice.”

“Such is the disposition of mankind, if they cannot blast an action, they will censure the parade of it; and whether you do what does not deserve to be taken notice of, or take notice yourself of what does, either way you incur reproach.”
Homines enim cum rem destruere non possunt, iactationem eius incessunt. Ita si silenda feceris, factum ipsum, si laudanda non sileas, ipse culparis.

“I don't care whether you had a 30-day notice, a 3-day notice, or a partridge in a pear tree!”
