I never saw so many well-dressed, well-fed, business-looking Bohemians in my life.

I like Wagner's music better than anybody's. It is so loud that one can talk the whole time without other people hearing what one says.

But whether I become a believer or remain an agnostic, my belief or disbelief must derive its source from within, not from without. I, myself, must create its symbols. The transcendental is that which produces its own form. I will never discover its secret if I do not find it in my own heart; if I do not possess it already I shall never be able to acquire it.

Anybody can make history; only a great man can write it.

Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is usually Judas who writes the biography.

He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize

Men become old, but they never become good.
