When we learn to speak, we learn to translate.

If society abolishes poetry it commits spiritual suicide.

We must cultivate and defend particularity, individuality, and irregularity-life. Human beings do not have a future in the collectivism of bureaucratic states or in the mass society created by capitalism. Every system, by virtue as much of its abstract nature as of its pretension to totality, is the enemy of life. As a forgotten Spanish poet, José Moreno Villa, put it with melancholy wit: "I have discovered in symmetry the root of much iniquity."

It is always difficult to give oneself up; few persons anywhere ever succeed in doing so, and even fewer transcend the possessive stage to know love for what it actually is: a perpetual discovery, and immersion in the waters of reality, an unending re-creation.

Deserve your dream.

Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.

Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.
