A high heart ought to bear cal...

A high heart ought to bear calamities and not flee them, since in bearing them appears the grandeur of the mind and in fleeing them the cowardice of the heart.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

If you want to annoy your neig...

If you want to annoy your neighbors, tell the truth about them.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Flattery and deceit are the da...

Flattery and deceit are the darlings of great men, and so with these men spread the butter on thick, if you want to get something out of them, otherwise you'll come home to me with a full belly and an empty purse.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Let us love winter, for it is ...

Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Perugia is my true fatherland ...

Perugia is my true fatherland because there I grew to manhood.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

I am a free man. I do not need...

I am a free man. I do not need to copy Petrarca or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style, and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being and my fame.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Anger represents a certain pow...

Anger represents a certain power, when a great mind, prevented from executing its own generous desires, is moved by it.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Nature without exercise is a s...

Nature without exercise is a seed shut up in a pod, and art without practice is nothing.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Telling you the truth than ado...

Telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Even when I'm railed at, I get my quota of renown.

Love doesn't hide. It stays and fights. It goes the distance, that's why love is so strong. So it can carry you all the way home.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

He who has not been at a taver...

He who has not been at a tavern knows not what a paradise it is. O holy tavern! O miraculous tavern!--holy, because no carking cares are there, nor weariness, nor pain; and miraculous, because of the spits, which themselves turn round and round!

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Flee laziness which while it p...

Flee laziness which while it produces an immediate delight, ends in the sorrow of repentance. And know that nature without exercise is a seed shut up in the pod, and art without practice is nothing.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

The art of war is like the art...

The art of war is like the art of the courtesan; indeed they might be called sisters, since both are slaves of desperation.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

A man who permits his honor to...

A man who permits his honor to be taken, permits his life to be taken.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Nothing, it appears to me, is ...

Nothing, it appears to me, is of greater value in a man than the power of judgment; and the man who has it may be compared to a chest filled with books, for he is the son of nature and the father of art.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Why should I be ashamed to des...

Why should I be ashamed to describe what nature was not ashamed to create?

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

Angry men are blind and foolis...

Angry men are blind and foolish, for reason at such time takes flight and, in her absence; wrath plunders all the riches of the intellect, while the judgment remains the prisoner of its own pride.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King. I live free, I enjoy myself, I can call myself happy.

Pietro Aretino 45 quotes

I love you, and because I love...

I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.
