You have comfort. You don't have luxury. And don't tell me that money plays a part. The luxury I advocate has nothing to do with money. It cannot be bought. It is the reward of those who have NO Fear or Discomfort.

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.

In two weeks, despite these notes, I shall no longer believe in what I am experiencing now. One must leave behind a trace of this journey which memory forgets. One must, when this is impossible, write or draw without responding to the romantic solicitations of pain, without enjoying suffering like music, tieing a pen to one's foot if need be, helping the doctors who can learn nothing from laziness.

Statues to great men are made of the stones thrown at them in their lifetime.

I have seafoam in my veins, I understand the language of waves.

Mirrors should think longer before they reflect.
