We do not write because we want to; we write because we have... - W. Somerset Maugham

"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."

"Only a mediocre person is always at his best."

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

"Impropriety is the soul of wit."

"Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species."
