"Modern morality consisting in accepting the standard of one's age. I consider that for any man of culture to accept the standard of his age is a form of the grossest immorality."
"You come down here to console me. That is charming of you. You find me consoled and you are furious.How like a sympathetic person!"
"One can always be kind to people about whom one cares nothing."
