The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.
We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
In the world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
Everyone who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
I am not young enough to know everything.
I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
Only the shallow know themselves.
The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
I can resist anything but temptation.
