Why is it better to love than be loved? It is surer.

I am in favor of preserving the French habit of kissing the hands of ladies. After all one must start somewhere.

One says that money doesn't buy happiness. Without a doubt, one was speaking of the money of others.

Find someone to love . . . and, oh, someone to love you.

What probably distorts everything in life is that one is convinced that one is speaking the truth because one says what one thinks.

You can pretend to be serious; you can't pretend to be witty.

Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris, it is about being reborn there.
