Whenever I have talked to anyone at too great length, I am like a man who has drunk too much, and ashamed, doesn't know where to put himself.

Somewhere in the shadow cast by every famous man is a feminine victim.

Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it.

God, he whom everyone knows, by name.

Be modest! It is the kind of pride least likely to offend.

A cold in the head causes less suffering than an idea.

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
