MARQUIS DE SADE
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY
The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.
EMILE ZOLA
I thank fate for having made me born poor. Poverty taught me the true value of the gifts useful to life.
ANATOLE FRANCE
Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.
HONORE DE BALZAC
