I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.
Pietro Aretino Quotes
A high heart ought to bear calamities and not flee them, since in bearing them appears the grandeur of the mind and in fleeing them the cowardice of the heart.

I am a free man, I do not need to copy Petrarch or Boccaccio.My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, without artifice, I go to work and earn my living,my well-being, and my fame.What do I need more? With a goose quill and a few sheets of paper I mock the universe.
