My heavens! I've been talking prose for the last forty years without knowing it.
Moliere
I always do the first line well, but I have trouble doing the others.
Moliere
It may cost me twenty thousand francs but for twenty thousand francs, I will have the right to rail against the iniquity of humanity, and to devote to it my eternal hatred.
Moliere

Moliere
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
Moliere

Moliere

Moliere
The more powerful the obstacle, the more glory we have in overcoming it and the difficulties with which we are met are the maids of honor which set off virtue.
Moliere

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
At least it's better to be married than to be dead.
Moliere
When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.
Moliere
The envious will die, but envy never.
Moliere
My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.
Moliere
