Clarity is the politeness of the man of letters.
Wrinkles are engraved smiles.
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.
When I think of all the books still left for me to read, I am certain of further happiness.
The void yields up nothing. You have to be a great poet to make it ring.
