Where love is concerned, too much is not even enough..
Vilify! Vilify! Some of it will always stick..
I would rather worry without need than live without heed..
Today if something is not worth saying, people sing it..
If a thing isn't worth saying, you sing it..
To make a living, craftiness is better than learnedness..
It is by no means necessary to understand things to speak confidently about them..
The same wind that extinguishes a light can set a brazier on fire..
I quickly laugh at everything for fear of having to cry..
It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them..
A writer's inspiration is not just to create. He must eat three times a day..
As long as I don't write about the government, religion, politics, and other institutions, I am free to print anything..
Honest men love women; those who deceive them adore them..
Nowadays what isn't worth saying is sung..
Can love and peace live in the same heart? Youth is unhappy because it is faced with this terrible choice; love without peace, or peace without love..
Calumniate, calumniate; there will always be something which sticks..
I make myself laugh at everything, so that I do not weep..
To obtain a woman who loves you, you must treat her as if she didn't..
Without the freedom to criticize, there is no true praise..
Without pleasure man would live like a fool and soon die..
Be commonplace and creeping and you'll be a success..
