All man's miseries derive from not being able to sit quietly in a room alone
Everyone sees what you appear to be, few know what you really are.
It is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth.
Oscar Wilde Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
