To have friends, you know, one need only be good-natured; but when a man has no enemy left there must be something mean about him.

I have grown tired of the articulate utterances of men and things. The Mystical in Art, the Mystical in Life, the Mystical in Nature this is what I am looking for. It is absolutely necessary for me to find it somewhere.

I like my food dry. Not sick, not even dying, dead.

God, bless me with luxury. Necessities I can do without.

Tea is the only simple pleasure left to us.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
