You cannot be both fashionable and first-rate

We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stutter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.

All mirrors are magical mirrors, and we never see our faces in them.

We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast.

A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat.

One can be bored until boredom becomes a mystical experience.

The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
