When one is in love one begins by deceiving oneself. And one ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.
Talk to every woman as if you loved her, and to every man as if he bored you, and at the end of your first season you will have the reputation of possessing the most perfect social tact.
No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating…
The truth isn’t quite the sort of think one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl.
The one charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that, would tell one anything.
Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn’t. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.
