Number of Quotes: 4
Family! ... the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
I am a devilish fellow, who has mastered many arts.
I have no wish at all to be a
great
writer, let alone a
great
man. It would just embarrass me and betray a
false position. I want to go in nightgown and underwear and be known as a scandal-writer, that wouldn't embarrass me.
I loathe people who keep dogs. They're cowards who have not got the guts to bite people themselves.
Last on Earth
