Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuat... - W. Somerset Maugham

"You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance."

"The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill."

"The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind."

"There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are."

"Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul."
