There is a fatality about good resolutions – that they are always made too late
An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.
A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten.
It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.
I quite agree with Dr. Nordau's assertion that all men of genius are insane, but Dr. Nordau forgets that all sane people are idiots.
