“The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.”
“The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.” “The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.” “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” “To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.” “The only thing that can be said about the future is that it will be different.” “Life is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.” “A man who is not a slave to his passions is a man who is not a man.” “The more I see of men, the more I love my dog.” |
