“ஒருவனின் செல்வத்தைக் கவர்ந்திட போரிட்டால் அந்தப் போரில் வெற்றி தோல்வி உண்டு. ஆனால், ஒருவனின் புகழை எதிர்த்து இன்னொருவனால் போரிடவே முடியாது. நீரைப் பாறைகொண்டு நசுக்க முடியாது.”

“There is no sense in refusing honours. That is in fact to do them too much honour. The only strategy is to act so that they never weigh upon you. Your delicious (and malicious) certainty that you are a beautiful woman only subjugates yourself. How is one to approach her to be subjugated oneself? It seems difficult to meet the woman of your life when you have several (lives). In fact, as soon as you have a double life . . . Popular fame is what we should aspire to. Nothing will ever match the distracted gaze of the woman serving in the butcher's who has seen you on television. With their feet caught in the ice like the pink flamingos, they still thought they were God's gift to mankind.”
