It is with noble sentiments that bad literature gets written

Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason.

In literature as in love we are astounded by what is chosen by others.

He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

Not everyone can be an orphan.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
