“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

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

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

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

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

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