What everyone forgets is that passion is not merely a heightened sensual fusion but a way of life which produces, as in the mystics, an ecstatic awareness of the whole of life.

In my dreams I sleep with everybody.

Balance is not to be sought by association with others; it must exist within one's self.

The diary taught me that it is in the moments of emotional crisis that human beings reveal themselves most accurately. I learned to choose the heightened moments because they are the moments of revelation.

The enemy of a love is never outside, it's not a man or woman, it's what we lack in ourselves.

I love the abstract, delicate, profound, vague, voluptuously wordless sensation of living ecstatically.

It is in the movements of emotional crisis that human beings reveal themselves most accurately.
