Who said “There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not…”?

“A beard signifies lice, not brains.”

“He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man.”

“In England and America a beard usually means that its owner would rather be considered venerable than virile; on the continent of Europe it often means that its owner makes a special claim to virility.”

“If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.”

“Art is science made clear.”

“Life is a horizontal fall.”

“I am a lie who always speaks the truth.”

“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”

“It is not I who become addicted, it is my body.”

“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
