More quotes by Moliere
The ancients, sir, are the ancients, and we are the people of today.
Moliere
Then worms shall try That long preserved virginity, And your quaint honor turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust. The grave's a fine and private place But none, I think, do there embrace.
Moliere
Love is often the fruit of marriage.
Moliere
The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
Moliere
One can be well-bred and write bad poetry
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
I have the fault of being a little more sincere than is proper.
Moliere
Rest assured that there is nothing which wounds the heart of a noble man more deeply than the thought his honour is assailed.
Moliere
Frankly, it's good enough to lock up in a drawer.
Moliere
Although I am a pious man, I am not the less a man.
Moliere
I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.
Moliere
Doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths. It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. A lover whose passion is extreme loves even the faults of the beloved
Moliere
New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
To inspire love is a woman's greatest ambition, believe me. It's the one thing woman care about and there's no woman so proud that she does not rejoice at heart in her conquests.
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
Most people die from the remedy rather than from the illness.
Moliere
Don't appear so scholarly, pray. Humanize your talk, and speak to be understood.
Moliere
Ah, there are no children nowadays.
Moliere
Birth is nothing without virtue, and we have no claim to share in the glory of our ancestors unless we endeavor to resemble them.
Moliere
