 I have witnessed and greatly enjoyed the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide. |
| I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming vices |
| I haven't heard anything like that since the orphanage burned down |
| I knew I should not find in any philosophy a single thought which had not passed through my own head, nor a single thought which had not passed through the heads of millions and millions of men before I was born |
| I know all those people. I have friendly, social, and criminal relations with the whole lot of them. |
| I learned long ago never to say the obvious thing, but leave the obvious thing to commonplace and inexperienced people to say |
| I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself. |
| I like criticism, but it must be my way. |
| I like the truth sometimes, but I don't care enough for it to hanker after it |
| I make it a rule never to smoke while I'm sleeping. |
| I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. |
| I never could tell a lie that anybody would doubt, nor a truth that anybody would believe. |
| I never did a thing in all my life, virtuous or otherwise that I didn't repent of within twenty-four hours |
| I never felt so fervently thankful, so soothed, so tranquil, so filled with the blessed peace, as I did yesterday when I learned that Michael Angelo was dead. |
| I never let schooling interfere with my education. |
