I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them.

I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

The very essence of romance is uncertainty.

Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.

The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.

I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.

In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity, is the vital thing.

Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon. Only people who can’t get into it do that.

I have never met any really wicked person before. I feel rather frightened. I am so afraid he will look just like every one else.

Don’t count your dollars to see how rich you are. Count your memories. Count your friends. Count the hugs you get every day. Count what really matters.

I wanted to paint a picture some day that people would stand before and forget that it was made of paint. I wanted it to creep into them like a bar of music and mushroom there like a soft bullet.

My younger brother's death in Vietnam was both sobering and cause for reflection. In 'Fallen Angels' I wanted to dispel the notion of war as either romantic or simplistically heroic.

I'm an action player. I like to be aggressive. I don't like to be on the run. I like to feel like I have the fates in my hands and that through my skill or lack thereof I control my fate.

All magic is 'Here’s a quarter, now it’s gone. You’re a jerk. Now it’s back. You’re an idiot. Show’s over.'

The best way to carve is not to split.

I accept myself unconditionally right now

Show kindness and respect to everyone. Pure intentions make the biggest difference.

Any time a body goes outside the environmental conditions for which it developed it has to acclimate.

To persist in doing wrong extenuates not the wrong, but makes it much more heavy.
