Moliere
Without dance, a man can do nothing.
Moliere
I live on good soup, not on fine words.
Moliere

Moliere
My heavens! I've been talking prose for the last forty years without knowing it.
Moliere
All which is not prose is verse and all which is not verse is prose.
Moliere
Human weakness is to desire to know what one does not want to know.
Moliere
Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
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

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
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere
The great ambition of women is to inspire love.
Moliere
The road is long fro the project to its completion.
Moliere

Moliere
You are my peace, my solace, my salvation.
Moliere
It is a folly second to none to try to improve the world.
Moliere
I want people to be sincere a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart.
Moliere
I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.
Moliere
