My method is simple: not to bother about poetry. It must come of its own accord. Merely whispering its name drives it away.

Be a mere assistant to your unconscious. Do only half the work. The rest will do itself.

A true photographer is as rare as a true poet or a true painter.

If a poet has a dream, it is not of becoming famous, but of being believed.

My only politics have been friendship.

The spirit of creation is the spirit of contradiction. It is the breakthrough of appearances toward an unknown reality.

One must not mistake majority for truth.
