—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“Not infrequently, we encounter copies of important human beings; and here, too, as in the case of paintings, most people prefer the copies to the originals.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“There are few people who are not ashamed of their love affairs when the infatuation is over.”
