I don't like Switzerland; it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.

It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.

At every single moment of one's life one is what one is going to be no less than what one has been.

A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses.

If you cannot prove a man wrong, don't panic. You can always call him names.

Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.

I don't like compliments, and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean.
