Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.

Our expression and our words never coincide, which is why the animals don't understand us.

Chins are exclusively a human feature, not to be found among the beasts. Ithey had chins, most animals would look like each other.

The family is a court of justice which never shuts down for night or day.

The glance embroiders in joy, knits in pain, and sews in boredom. When indifferent, the eye takes stills, when interested, movies. Laughter is regional: a smile extends over the whole face.

The idealist walks on tiptoe, the materialist on his heels.

We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.
