When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness.

willingness to explore everything is a sign of strength. The weak ones have prejudices. Prejudices are a protection.

Physical experiences, lacking the joys of love, depend on twists and perversions of pleasure. Abnormal pleasures kill the taste for normal ones.

I prefer by far the warmth and softness to mere brilliancy and coldness. Some people remind me of sharp dazzling diamonds. Valuable but lifeless and loveless. Others, of the simplest field flowers, with hearts full of dew and with all the tints of celestial beauty reflected in their modest petals.

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

We do not see the world as it is. We see the word as we are.

If you are terribly truthful, the ground will always move from under you, and you will have to shift with the constantly shifting truth.
