Jean de La Bruyère

Biography

Quotes

  • The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.
  • The pleasure of criticism deprives us of that of being deeply moved by beautiful things.
  • Let us not complain against men because of their rudeness, their ingratitude, their injustice, their arrogance, their love of self, their forgetfulness of others. They are so made. Such is their nature.
