We cannot cure the evils of politics with politics.

I hate men who are afraid of women's strength.

I cannot concentrate all my friendship on any single one of my friends because no one is complete enough in himself.

Only when the poet and the scientist work in unison will we have living experiences and knowledge of the marvels of the universe as they are being discovered.

Warmth, perfume, rugs, soft lights, books. They do not appease me. I am aware of time passing, of all the world contains that I have not seen, of all the interesting people I have not met.

I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits

I seek the real stuff of life. Profound drama.
