Favorite Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais Quotes

1. "It's your world, but I make my way in it. At fifteen, no, I couldn't stand up to you. The age of illusions, when we know nothing, we hope for everything; we're wandering in a mist ... And the half of the world that's never had any use for us, suddenly is besieging us. You need us, you adore us, you're suffering for us. You want everything--except to know what we think. You look deep in our eyes--and put your hand up our dress. You call us, "Pretty thing." That confuses us. The most beautiful woman, the highest ranked, lives half dazzled by constant attention, half stifled by obvious contempt. We think all we're good for is pleasing you--till one day, long acquaintance with you dispels the last mist. In a clear light, we suddenly see you as you are--and generally we start preferring ourselves. At thirty, I could finally say no--or really say yes. That's when you begin backing away from us. Now I'm full-grown. I pursue my happiness the same as any man." ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
2. "I grant men the land, the government, the wealth, all the chances. I accept that you have to hold all the cards, since that's the only way you know how to play; but I refuse to swallow your disrespect." ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
3. "La difficulté de réussir ne fait qu'ajouter à la nécessité d'entreprendre." ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
4. "A great man is doing you enough good when he isn't doing you harm." ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
5. "Il ne faut pas me dire deux fois les choses ; il ne faut pas me les dire deux fois." ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
6. "Nowadays what isn't worth saying is sung.(Aujourd'hui ce qui ne vaut pas la peine d'être dit, on le chante.)" ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
7. "Only one thing to it: a strong stomach. The guts to gladhand a man you're going to stab in the back; pledge allegiance to principles you stomp on every day; righteously denounce some despot in the press and sell him arms under the table. The talent to whip up the voters' worst passions while you seem to call on their highest instincts, and the sense to stay wrapped in the flag. That's politics: I'll take the simple life." ~ Pierre Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais
