There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.

I was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties.

I am nothing. I'll never be anything. I couldn't want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.

I believe that saying a thing is to keep its virtues and take away its terror.

Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial.

I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.

All beginnings are involuntary.
