When you have nothing to say, or to hide, there is no need to be prudent.
To win ones joy through struggle is better than to yield to melancholy.
The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
I find just as much profit in cultivating my hates as my loves.
A work of art is an exaggeration.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.
