Beautiful art is the cause of forgivable scandal.

- To have everything one wishes for never satisfies oneself. It is the thought of having just enough of everything that leads to happiness without having anything.

- Life is cursed with the absence of importance - sometimes only triviality can cure it.

- The only high class tragedy is, to die with another reputation than one is born with (- or even worse: to build its own).

- The triviality of the world becomes more important after realising ones own existence.

- Art makes something out of everything - yet it does not make everybody an artist.

- All imitation is useless when it does not cause the subject to love the imitation more than its original.
- One mans scandal is the beginning of the morality of others.

- The secret of morality is to preach about it long enough, until everybody believes it - and to stop before you do yourself.

- Irrationality is the absence of ones mind and the consciousness of all feelings.
