"Be warned in time, James, and remain, as I do, incomprehensible: to be great is to be misunderstood."

"The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."

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

"Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship."

"A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. [Answering the question, what is a cynic?]"

"In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."
