GEORG CHRISTOPH LICHTENBERG said...

"Much can be inferred about a man from his mistress: in her one beholds his weaknesses and his dreams."

- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (German physics professor and scientist 1742 - 1799)


Missy here: I never know when I read quotes from this era if the word Mistress is being used to mean a Mistress as in a kept woman or courtesan, or simply a man's wife!
