“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

I can resist everything except temptation.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
