As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other.

The history of my life must begin by the earliest circumstance which my memory can evoke it will therefore commence when I had attained the age of eight years and four months.

The same principle that forbids me to lie does not allow me to tell the truth.

Nobody can deprive me of the fact that I had a good time.

Man is free, but his freedom ceases when he has no faith in it; and the greater power he ascribes to faith, the more he deprives himself of that power which God has given to him when He endowed him with the gift of reason.

I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the knowledge of my existence.

You will be amused when you see that I have more than once deceived without the slightest qualm of conscience, both knaves and fools.
