How can I be reasonable? To me our love was everything and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.

I forget who it was that recommended men for their soul's good to do each day two things they disliked: it was a wise man, and it is a precept that I have followed scrupulously; for every day I have got up and I have gone to bed.

The best style is the style you don't notice.

What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we ask of others but that we be allowed to keep them?

You're beginning to dislike me, aren't you? Well, dislike me. It doesn't make any difference to me now.

The drama is make-believe. It does not deal with truth but with effect.

Genius is talent provided with ideals.
