("Of Human Bondage")

More Quotes from W. Somerset Maugham:

I wish I could make you see how much fuller the life I offer you is than anything you have a conception of. I wish I could make you see how exciting the life of the spirit is and how rich in experience. It's illimitable. It's such a happy life. There's only one thing like it, when you're up in a plane by yourself, high, high, and only infinity surrounds you. You're intoxicated by the boundless space.
W. Somerset Maugham

The world is quickly bored by the recital of misfortune, and willing avoids the sight of distress.
W. Somerset Maugham

Oh, my dear fellow, if you want to be a gentleman you must give up being an artist. They've got nothing to do with one another. You hear of men painting pot-boilers to keep an aged mother - well, it shows they're excellent sons, but it's no excuse for bad work. They're only tradesmen. An artist would let his mother go to the workhouse.
W. Somerset Maugham

Anyone can tell the truth, but only very few of us can make epigrams.
W. Somerset Maugham

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
W. Somerset Maugham

You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance.
W. Somerset Maugham
