Public Opinion Is The Worst Of All

I Have Three Kinds Of Friends: Those Who Love Me, Those Who Pay No Attention To Me, And Those Who Detest Me.

When A Man And A Woman Have An Overwhelming Passion For Each Other, It Seems To Me, In Spite Of Such Obstacles Dividing Them As Parents Or Husband, That They Belong To Each Other In The Name Of Nature, And Are Lovers By Divine Right, In Spite Of Human Convention Or The Laws.

People Are Governed With The Head; Kindness Of Heart Is Little Use In Chess.

A Lover Is A Man Who Tries To Be More Amiable Than It Is Possible For Him To Be.

I Only Study The Things I Like; I Apply My Mind Only To Matters That Interest Me. They'll Be Useful-or Useless-to Me Or To Others In Due Course, I'll Be Given-or Not Given-the Opportunity Of Benefiting From What I've Learned. In Any Case, I'll Have Enjoyed The Inestimable Advantage Of Doing Things I Like Doing And Following My Own Inclinations.
