But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.
If I go to the National Gallery and I look at one of the great paintings that excite me there, it's not so much the painting that excites me as that the painting unlocks all kinds of valves of sensation within me which return me to life more violently.
Truth is a naked and open daylight
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.
