If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart.

A community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurence of crime.

The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.

And what sort of lives do these people, who pose as being moral, lead themselves? My dear fellow, you forget that we are in the native land of the hypocrite.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

There can be nothing more frequent than an occasional drink.

I walk the world in wonder.
