풍부함이 풍미보다 낫다.
진실은 없다. 지각만이 있을뿐이다.
여성은 남성을 지배하므로 먼저 그 여성을 완전한 것으로 만들기 위해 노력하라. 여성이 광명을 가지면 가질스록 남성은 밝은 빛을 받게 되는 셈이다. 여성의 교양은 오로지 남성의 지혜에 달려있다.
물오리는 날적부터 헤엄을 치듯이 어린이들은 나면서부터 착한일을 할 수 있는 천성을 지니고 있다. 어린이들이 하는일에 일일이 간섭하는 것은 물오리의 헤엄을 금하는거나 다름없다. 어린이들을 가르치려면 그 천성을 옆에서 도와 주는 것이 중요하다.
모든 거짓말들 중에 예술이 가장 진실으로부터 거리가 멀다.
많이 읽어라. 하지만 많은 책을 뜻하는것은 아니다
만약 충분히 긴 시간을 두고 본다면 무엇이든지 흥미로워 진다.
You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies, and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it.
What an elder sees sitting; the young can’t see standing.
To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
The more humanity advances, the more it is degraded.
The deplorable mania of doubt exhausts me. I doubt about everything, even my doubts.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.
Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.
Nothing is more humiliating than to see idiots succeed in enterprises we have failed in.
Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.
How you measure the performance of your managers directly affects the way they act.
Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.
Books are made not like children but like pyramids and they’re just as useless! And they stay in the desert! Jackals piss at their foot and the bourgeois climb up on them.
Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
As a rule we disbelieve all the facts and theories for which we have no use.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
All one’s inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry.

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one’s will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters.
I have always wanted a mistress who was fat, and I have never found one. To make a fool of me, they are always pregnant.

We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavorable opinion of anyone, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours.
We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.
The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sov

The duty of man is the same in respect to his own nature as in respect to the nature of all other things, namely not to follow it but to amend it.
The dictum that truth always triumphs over persecution is one of the pleasant falsehoods which men repeat after one another till they pass into commonplaces, but which all experience refutes.
The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.
Of two pleasures, if there be one which all or almost all who have experience of both give a decided preference, irrespective of any feeling of moral obligation to prefer it, that is the more desirable pleasure.
If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one – if he had the power – would be justified in silencing mankind.
