My philosophy is fundamentally sad, but I’m not a sad man, and I don’t believe I sadden anyone else.

No one can shed light on vices he does not have or afflictions he has ever experienced.

Beyond living and dreaming there is something more important: waking up.

The truly erotic sensibility, in evoking the image of woman, never omits to clothe it. The robing and disrobing: that is the true traffic of love.

Only a fool thinks price and value are the same.

Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. (Walk, there is no path, the path is made by walking.)
