I think it was La Rochefoucauld who said that most people would never fall in love if they hadn't read about it.

我记得拉罗什富科说过，大多数人如果没有读过关于爱情方面的书，他们就不会恋爱；

Few things are impossible in themselves; and it is often for want of will, rather than of means, that man fails to succeed. - La Rochefoucauld, French writer.

几乎没有什么事情是根本做不成的；人们之所以失败，与其说是条件不够，不如说是缺乏意志。—拉·罗什·富科，法国作家。
