I have never seen a greater monster or miracle in the world than myself.

I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

I speak the truth not so much as I would, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow older.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience.
