Despite his popularity, Maugham did not gain serious recognition. This was expressed in his autobiography THE SUMMING UP (1938), that he stood 'in the very first row of the second-raters'. Maugham's skill in handling plot has been compared by critics in the manner of Guy de Maupassant . In many novels the surroundings are international and the stories are told in clear, economical style with cynical or resigned undertone. "I have never pretended to be anything but a story teller. It has amused me to tell stories and I have told a great many. It is a misfortune for me that the telling of a story just for the sake of the story is not an activity that is in favor with the intelligentsia. In endeavor to bear my misfortunes with fortitude." (from Creatures of Circumstance W. Somerset Maugham was born in Paris as the sixth and youngest son of the solicitor to the British embassy. He learned French as his native tongue. At the age of 10 Maugham was orphaned and sent to England to live with his uncle, the vicar of Whitstable. Educated at King's School, Canterbury, and Heidelberg University, Maugham then studied six years medicine in London. He qualified in 1897 as doctor from St. Thomas' medical school but abandoned medicine after the success of his first novels and plays.

W. Somerset Maugham Quotes It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it. The unfortunate thing about this world is that good habits are so much easier to give up than bad ones. People ask for criticism, but they only want praise. Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it. Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young. It's a funny think about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. Only a mediocre person is always at his best. The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people bitter and cruel. Love is only the dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species. The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit. It wasn't until quite late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say 'I don't know'. There is only one thing about which I am certain, and that is there is very little about which one can be certain.

He was young in Queen Victoria's England, when the sun never set on the British Empire, Europe was the center of the civilized world, and the horse drawn carriage was the preferred mode of transportation. He lived to see the collapse of the great colonial empires, the rise of America, and to fly in an airplane. He seems to have taken it all in with his usual phlegmatic demeanor.

William Somerset Maugham ( Some quotations: To the lover waiting for his love, no sound is sadder than the tardy striking of the hours. It is but seldom that a man loves one and for all; it may only show that his sexual instincts are not very strong. Human sorrow is like a child born in the night who sees the sun rise and thinks that yesterday never existed. The writer must be playful and serious at the same time. When you are in love what use it is to you if all you get in return is kindness, friendship, affection ? It is Dead Sea fruit that sticks in your throat. People will sometimes forgive you the good you have done them, but seldom the harm they have done you. Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it. People ask for criticism, but they only want praise. The unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones. Art for art's sake makes no more sense than gin for gin's sake. There are two good things in life - freedom of thought and freedom of action.
