Affectation is a greater enemy to the face than smallpox

The characteristic of coquettes is affectation governed by whim

Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he's only trying on one face after another till he finds his own

Affectation hides three times as many virtues as charity does sins

There is a pleasure in affecting affectation

I can say without affectation that I belong to the Russian convict world no less than I do to Russian literature. I got my education there, and it will last forever.
