I can't stand people that do not take food seriously.

Reforms in Russia are very tragic, but they always end in a farce.

Give children beauty, not the record of bloody slaughters and barbarous brawls, as they call history, or of the latitude and longitude of places nobody cares to visit, as they call geography.

It is love, and not German philosophy, that is the true explanation of the world, whatever may be the explanation of the next.

When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.
