The emotions of man are stirred more quickly than man’s intelligence.

I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.

You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
