2 " Indifference is the revenge the world takes on mediocrities. "
3 " For romantic young people like he is, the world always looks best at a distance; and a prison where one's allowed to order one's own dinner is not at all bad. "
4 " For myself, the only immortality I desire is to invent a new sauce. "
5 " Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it. "
6 " To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist—the problem is so entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar. "
7 " In these modern days to be vulgar, illiterate, common and vicious, seems to give a man a marvellous infinity of rights that his honest fathers never dreamed of. "
