We must love men more than things, and I admire and weep more for the soldiers than for the churches which were only the recording of an heroic gesture which today is reenacted at every moment.

Love is space and time measured by the heart.

The world was not created once and for all time for each of us individually. There are added to it in the course of our life things of which we have never had any suspicion.

It is always thus, impelled by a state of mind which is destined not to last, we make our irrevocable decisions

A work in which there are theories is like an object which still has the ticket that shows its price.

Knowing does not always allow us to prevent, but at least the things that we know, we hold them, if not in our hands, but at leastin our thoughts where we may dispose of them at our whim, which gives us the illusion of power over them.

Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person. And as a rule the most recent exhibit remains for some time the only one to be seen.
