Pedro Calderón de la Barca Quotes

When love is not madness it is not love.

Dreams are rough copies of the waking soul Yet uncorrected of the higher will, So that men sometimes in their dreams confessAn unsuspected, or forgotten, self; -Since Dreaming, Madness, Passion, are akinIn missing each that salutory reinOf reason, and the grinding will of man.

one may know how to gain victory, and know not how to use it

In this treacherous worldNothing is the truth nor a lie.Everything depends on the colorOf the crystal through which one sees it

For even in dreams a good deed is not lost.

When love is not madness it is not love.
