The people who have adored me-- there have not been very many, but there have been some-- have always insisted on living on, long after I had ceased to care for them, or they to care for me.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Sometime you will find, even as I have found, that there is no such thing as romantic experience; there are romantic memories, and there is the desire of romance- that is all. Our most fiery moments of ecstasy are merely shadows of what somewhere else we have felt, or of what we long someday to feel

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight.

Genius lasts longer than beauty

It would leave no room for developments and I intend to develop in many directions.

They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
