Fortune Loves To Give Bedroom Slippers To

The Years I Have Squandered In Puerile Excitement, In Going Hither And Thither, In Seeking To Force Nature And Time, I Ought To Have Spent In Solitude And Meditation, In Endeavoring To Make Myself Worthy Of Being Loved.

I Am One Of Those For Whom Superfluity Is A Necessity.

Brevity Never Fatigues; Therefore, Brevity Is Always A Welcome Guest.

The Arts Teach And Moralise By Their Beauty Alone, Not By Translating A Philosophical Or Social Formula. For The Truly Artistic Person, Painting Has Itself As It's Purpose, Which Is Quite Enough.

There Is Nothing Truly Beautiful But That Which Can Never Be Of Any Use Whatsoever; Everything Useful Is Ugly, For It Is The Expression Of Some Need, And Man's Needs Are Ignoble And Disgusting Like His Own Poor And Infirm Nature. The Most Useful Place In A House Is The Water-closet.
