I Detest My Fellow-beings And

We Should Not Touch Our Idols: Their Gilding Will Remain On Our Hands.

I Sometimes Feel A Great Ennui, Profound Emptiness, Doubts Which Sneer In My Face In The Midst Of The Most Spontaneous Satisfactions. Well, I Would Not Exchange All That For Anything, Because It Seems To Me, In My Conscience, That I Am Doing My Duty, That I Am Obeying A Superior Fatality, That I Am Following The Good And That I Am In The Right.

Snicker On Hearing His Name: 'the Gentleman Who Thinks We Are Descended From The Apes.'

I Have Come To Have The Firm Conviction That Vanity Is The Basis Of Everything, And Finally That What One Calls Conscience Is Only Inner Vanity.

For Some Men, The Stronger Their Desire, The More Difficult It Is For Them To Act.
