What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
It's the old, old story. Love—well, not at first sight—but love at the end of the season, which is so much more satisfactory.
No nice girl should ever waltz with such particularly younger sons! It looks so fast!
Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere1 with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil3. They give us now and then some of those luxurious4, sterile5 emotions that have a certain charm for the weak. That is all that can be said for them. They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
What is the difference between literature and journalism6? Journalism is unreadable and literature is unread.
I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy7.
My husband is a sort of promissory note; I am tired of meeting him.
Conscience makes egotists of us all.
Never trust a woman who wears mauve, whatever her age may be, or a woman over thirty-five who is fond of pink ribbons. It always means that they have a history.
We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
Anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there. That is the reason why people who live out of town are so absolutely uncivilised. Civilisation9
