A paranoiac, like a poet, is born, not made.

Salvador Dalí seduced many ladies, particularly American ladies, but these seductions usually consisted of stripping them naked in his apartment, frying a couple of eggs, putting them on the woman's shoulders and, without a word, showing them the door.

I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.

I would give my life for a man who is looking for the truth. But I would gladly kill a man who thinks that he has found the truth.

If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.

I can't help feeling that there is no beauty without hope, struggle, and conquest.

I find it [science] analytical, pretentious and superficial-largely because it does not address itself to dreams, chance, laughter, feelings, or paradox-in other words,-all the things I love the most.
