A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.
H. L. Mencken

Georges Bataille

A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.

Patrick Kavanagh

Don McLean

An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a meeting; and if he should chance to become warm in the discussion, he will say "Gentlemen" to the person with whom he is conversing.
Alexis de Tocqueville

An author who speaks about their own books is almost as bad as a mother who speaks about her own children.
