More quotes by Moliere
Betrayed and wronged in everything, I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart. - Molière, The Misanthrope
Moliere
The maturing process of becoming a writer is akin to that of a harlot. First you do it for love, then for a few friends, and finally only for money.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
Moliere
True, Heaven prohibits certain pleasures but one can generally negotiate a compromise.
Moliere

Moliere
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Moliere

Moliere
We die only once, and for such a long time.
Moliere
There is no fate more distressing for an artist than to have to show himself off before fools, to see his work exposed to the criticism of the vulgar and ignorant.
Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Moliere
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
Moliere
There is nothing so necessary for men as dancing.
Moliere
The secret to fencing consists in two things: to give and to not receive.
Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere
