Moliere
The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.
Moliere
It is fine for a woman to know a lot but I don't want her to have this shocking desire to be learned for learnedness sake. When I ask a woman a question, I like her to pretend to ignore what she really knows.
Moliere
Folk whose own behavior is most ridiculous are always to the fore in slandering others.
Moliere

Moliere
Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
Moliere
