I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.

Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.

Time broadens the scope of verses and I know of some which, like music, are everything for all men.

I don't think we're capable of knowledge, but I like to keep an open mind. So if you ask me whether I believe in an afterlife or not, whether I believe in God or not, I can only answer you that all things are possible. And if all things are possible, heaven and hell and the angels are also possible. They're not to be ruled out.

Thus my life is a flight and I lose everything and everything belongs to oblivion, or to him.

The art of writing is mysterious; the opinions we hold are ephemeral , and I prefer the Platonic idea of the Muse to that of Poe, who reasoned, or feigned to reason, that the writing of a poem is an act of the intelligence. It never fails to amaze me that the classics hold a romantic theory of poetry, and a romantic poet a classical theory.

Soccer is popular because stupidity is popular.
