"I think it is all a matter of love the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes"
"It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight."
"Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it."
"What is this jest in majesty? This ass in passion? How do God and Devil combine to form a live dog?"
"The character I have in view when I say "smug vulgarian" is, thus, not the part-time philistine, but the total type, the genteel bourgeois, the complete universal product of triteness and mediocrity. He is the conformist, the man who conforms to his group, and he also is typified by something else: he is a pseudo-idealist, he is pseudo-compassionate, he is pseudo-wise. The fraud is the closest ally of the true philistine. All such great words as "Beauty," "Love," "Nature," "Truth," and so on become masks and dupes when the smug vulgarian employs them. ... The philistine likes to impress and he likes to be impressed, in consequence of which a world of deception, of mutual cheating, is formed by him and around him."
