Sometimes we reveal ourselves when we are least like ourselves.

Eroticism is one of the basic means of self-knowledge, as indispensable as poetry.

The truly faithless one is the one who makes love to only a fraction of you. And denies the rest.

I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease.

I am a winged creature who is too rarely allowed to use its wings. Ecstasies do not occur often enough.

The self is merely the lens through which we see others and the world.
