“My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.”

“If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?”

“If it was my business, I wouldn't talk about it. It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbroker's do that, and then merely at dinner parties.”

“When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.”

“My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.”

“Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.”

“Most people are boring and stupid.”
