I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it 'maturity'.

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

Simplicity is not a simple thing.

Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
