“Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.”
Dave Eggers“I know women are taught by other women that they must never admit the full truth to a man. But the highest form of affection is based on full sincerity on both sides. Not being men, these women don't know that in looking back on those he has had tender relations with, a man's heart returns closest to her who was the soul of truth in her conduct. The better class of man, even if caught by airy affectations of dodging and parrying, is not retained by them. A Nemesis attends the woman who plays the game of elusiveness too often, in the utter contempt for her that, sooner or later, her old admirers feel; under which they allow her to go unlamented to her grave.”
Thomas Hardy“Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations he's only trying on one face after another till he finds his own.”
Logan Pearsall Smith“More faults are created than cured by professional teachers.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students“The mimicry of passion is the most intolerable of all poses.”
Oscar Wilde, Reviews
