Moliere

Moliere

Moliere

Moliere
Beauty without intelligence is like a hook without bait.
Moliere

Moliere
Although I am a pious man, I am not the less a man.
Moliere
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
Moliere
The absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.
Moliere
Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
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
