adopt towards people whom we
personally dislike.

I sometimes think that God in
creating man somewhat overestimated
His ability.

Man is least himself when he talks
in his own person. Give him a
mask, and he will tell you the
truth.

Oscar Wilde

The only thing that can console one
for being poor is extravagance.

He lives the poetry that he cannot
write. The others write the poetry
that they dare not realise.
