One’s past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged.
The things people say of a man do not alter a man. He is what he is. Public opinion is of no value whatsoever.
One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their life a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly; but I don’t see any chance of it just at present.
