Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out a candle, and blows in a fire.

Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out a candle, and blows in a fire.

匮乏压抑了人的一些小欲望而强化了重大的欲望，就像风吹灭蜡烛而熊熊燃烧一样。

-- Francois VI, Duc De La Rochefoucauld 弗朗索瓦六世，罗切福科公爵
