Men become old, but they never become good.

It is personalities not principles that move the age.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.

Well I won't argue about the matter. You always want to argue about things. That is exactly what things were originally made for.

I envy you going to Oxford: it is the most flower-like time of one's life. One sees the shadow of things in silver mirrors. Later on, one sees the Gorgon's head, and one suffers, because it does not turn one to stone.

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.

Never buy a thing you don't want merely because it is dear.
