W. Somerset Maugham
  • If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this forever. Is that good news?

  • Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

  • Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.

  • If you want to eat well in England, eat three breakfasts.

  • If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom, and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.
