French touch of seduction and elegance...

Mr Waldo Lydecker, a dandy.



"I should be sincerely sorry to see my neighbor's children devoured by wolves. "




"How singularly innocent I look this morning. "  
 

 

"I don't use a pen. I write with a goose quill dipped in venom. "




 
"I cannot stand these morons any longer. If you don't come with me this instant I shall run amok. "


 
 
"I'm not kind, I'm vicious. It's the secret of my charm. "



 

"My dear, either you were born on a extremely rustic community, where good manners are unknown, or you suffer from a common feminine delusion that the mere fact of being a woman exempts you from the rules of civilized conduct."




 
"If you come any closer boy I shall break your skull with my stick ! "

Valentino



It was not that trifling Chicago episode that was riding him; it was the whole grotesque futility of his life. Had he achieved, out of nothing, a vast and dizzy success? Then that success was hollow as well as vast—a colossal and preposterous nothing. Was he acclaimed by yelling multitudes? Then every time the multitudes yelled he felt himself blushing inside... The thing, at the start, must have only bewildered him, but in those last days, unless I am a worse psychologist than even the professors of psychology, it was revolting him. Worse, it was making him afraid...

Here was a young man who was living daily the dream of millions of other men. Here was one who was catnip to women. Here was one who had wealth and fame. And here was one who was very unhappy


H.L. Mencken.
