Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Everything popular is wrong.
True progres sis to know more, and be more, and to do more.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.
Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.
A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
All art is quite useless.
Why was I born with such comtemporaries?
Ridicule is the tribute paid to the genius by the mediocrities.
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeedes like excess.
