Theophile Gautier Quotes

I Have Often Been Charged With Falsehood And Hypocrisy, Yet There Lives Not The Man Who Would More Gladly Than I Speak Truthfully And Lay Bare His Heart; But As I Have Not One Idea, One Feeling In Common With The People Who Surround Me, As The Very First Word I Should Speak Truthfully Would Cause A General Hue And Cry, I Have Preferred To Keep Silent, Or, If I Do Speak, To Utter Only Stupid Commonplaces Which Everyone Has Agreed To Believe In.
