My dear Madame, I just noticed that I forgot my cane at your house yesterday; please be good enough to give it to the bearer of this letter. P.S. Kindly pardon me for disturbing you; I just found my cane.

The moments of the past do not remain still; they retain in our memory the motion which drew them towards the future, towards a future which has itself become the past, and draw us on in their train.

Only through art can we get outside of ourselves and know another's view of the universe which is not the same as ours and see landscapes which otherwise would remain unknown to us like the landscapes of the moon. Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists.

It comes so soon, the moment when there is nothing left to wait for.

When you work to please others you can't succeed, but the things you do to satisfy yourself stand a chance of catching someone's interest.

An hour is not merely an hour, it is a vase full of scents and sounds and projects and climates.

with one image he would make that beauty explode into me.
