Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Andre MauroisWe appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence.
Andre MauroisMemory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
Andre MauroisThe need to express oneself in writing springs from a mal-adjustment to life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action. Those to whom action comes as easily as breathing rarely feel the need to break loose from the real, to rise above, and describe it... I do not mean that it is enough to be maladjusted to become a great writer, but writing is, for some, a method of resolving a conflict, provided they have the necessary talent.
