I don't know how to talk. Oh! talk to every woman as if you loved her, and to every man as if he bored you, and at the end of your first season you will have the reputation of possessing the most perfect social tact.

I like looking at geniuses and listening to beautiful people.

Life would be dull without them.

When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.

The only one you need in your life is that person who shows you he needs you in his.

To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up.

I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.
