For a while I shall still be leaving, looking back at you as you slip away into the magic islands of the mind.

Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.

Loneliness is the way by which destiny endeavors to lead man to himself.

In my brain were stored a thousand pictures.
