I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.
One is easily fooled by that which one loves.
The scandal of the world is what makes the offence; it is not sinful to sin in silence.
There is no fate more distressing for an artist than to have to show himself off before fools, to see his work exposed to the criticism of the vulgar and ignorant.
I will not leave you until I have seen you hanged.
Two wives? That exceeds the custom.
