Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. - Molière

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

"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."

"A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool."

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