If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Illusion is the first of all pleasures.

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

Wisdom comes with winters.

When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.

Oscar Wilde
