"conceit is the privilege of the creative."
"humility is for the hypocrite, modesty for the incompetent."
"the only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else."
"to be in love is to surpass oneself."
"we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
"true love suffers, and is silent."
"conceit is one of the greatest of the virtues, yet how few people recognize it as a thing to aim at and to strive after. in conceit many a man and woman has found salvation, yet the average person goes on all fours groveling after modesty."
"most people are other people. their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
