Man, when he is merely what he seems to be, is almost nothing.

When I do not walk in the clouds I walk as though I were lost.

He who does not fill his world with phantoms remains alone.

I keep my hands empty for the sake of what I have had in them.

If you are good to this one and that one, this one and that one will say that you are good. If you are good to everyone, no one will say that you are good.

My poverty is not complete: it lacks me.

I love you as you are, but do not tell me how that is.
