 I appropriate what is already mine, for once a thing is published it becomes public property |
| I can believe anything as long as it is incredible |
| I can believe anything provided it is incredible. |
| I can resist everything except temptation. |
| I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect. |
| I can sympathize with everything, except suffering. |
| I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves. |
| I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies. |
| I delight in men over seventy. They always offer one the devotion of a lifetime. |
| I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing. |
| I dislike modern memoirs. They are generally written by people who have either entirely lost their memories, or have never done anything worth remembering. |
| I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square. |
| I do not approve of anything which tampers with natural ignorance |
| I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited. |
| I don't like compliments, and I don't see why a man should think he is pleasing a woman enormously when he says to her a whole heap of things that he doesn't mean |
