The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly.
..when one has no real life, one lives by mirages. It's still better than nothing.
If ever my life can be of any use to you, come and claim it.
A woman is fascinated not by art but by the noise made by those in the field.
The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him.
Better a debauched canary than a pious wolf.
