A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool. - Molière

"Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money."

"The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself."

"The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them."

"Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit."

"It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right."
