A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

The most ridiculous were those who, on their own authority, made themselves the judges and justices of the tribe. They seemed never to suspect that our judgments judge us, and that nothing exposes our weaknesses and reveals ourselves more naively than the attitude of pronouncing upon our neighbors.

That which has been believed by everyone, always and everywhere, has every chance of being false.

That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false.

A man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts.

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.
