Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

I have no objection to anyone's sex life as long as they don't practice it in the street and frighten the horses.

Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.

I never take any notice to what common people say, and I never interfere with what charming people do.

To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders...It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.

I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.
