The only horrible thing in the world is ennui.

No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.

As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.

I like looking at geniuses and listening to beautiful people.

Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm.

I walk the world in wonder.
