I have to live for others and not for myself: that's middle-class morality.
The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.
If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.
Everything I eat has been proved by some doctor or other to be a deadly poison, and everything I don't eat has been proved to be indispensable for life. But I go marching on.
The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.
The man who has never made a mistake will never make anything else.
