Stronger than alcohol, vaster than poetry, Ferment the freckled red bitterness of love!
Arthur RimbaudI am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
Arthur RimbaudI don't love women. Love has to be reinvented, we know that. The only thing women can ultimately imagine is security. Once they get that, love, beauty, everything else goes out the window. All they have left is cold disdain; that's what marriages live on nowadays. Sometimes I see women who ought to be happy, with whom I could have found companionship, already swallowed up by brutes with as much feeling as an old log.
