Love is a great thing. It is not by chance that in all times and practically among all cultured peoples love in the general senseand the love of a man for his wife are both called love. If love is often cruel or destructive, the reasons lie not in love itself, but in the inequality between people.

There is nothing more vulgar than a petty bourgeois life with its halfpence, its victuals, its futile talk, and its useless conventional virtue.

If you wish women to love you be original; I know a man who used to wear felt boots summer and winter & women fell in love with him.

It is as acceptable now to love the wives of others as it is to smoke their cigars and read their books.

Never bring a cannon on stage in Act I unless you intend to fire it by the last act.

You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.

Only one who loves can remember so well.
