“True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.”

François VI, Duc de La
Rochefoucauld, Prince de Marcillac, 15 September 1613 – 17 March 1680) was a noted
French author of maxims and memoirs. It is said that
his world-view was clear-eyed and urbane, and that he neither condemned human
conduct nor sentimentally celebrated it. Born in Paris on the Rue des Petits Champs, at a time when
the royal court was vacillating between aiding the nobility and threatening it,
he was considered an exemplar of the accomplished 17th-century nobleman. Until 1650, he bore the title of Prince de Marcillac.
