What the devil was he doing in that galley? - Molière

Il faut qu'il ait tué bien des gens pour s'être fait si riche.

Presque tous les hommes meurent de leurs remèdes, et non pas de leurs maladies.

Mademoiselle De Brie: But it can't be much fun seeing your work torn to shreds.

Moliere: What do I care? Didn't I get everything I wanted from my play? I was lucky — it appealed to the distinguished audience I was particularly eager to please. Don't you think I'm right to be happy with how it turned out? Can't you see that their attacks have come too late? It's out of my hands at this point. If people attack a successful play, they're attacking the audience who liked it, for their lack of judgement, not the art of the man who wrote the play, don't you see?
