- A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
- The author of the Iliad is either Homer or, if not Homer, somebody else of the same name.
- Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
- An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations.
- Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?
- I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
