Fame is the sum of the misunderstanding that gathers about a new name.

Never believe fate is more than the condensation of childhood.

What is needed is, in the end, simply this: solitude, great inner solitude.

Describe your sorrows and desires, passing thoughts and the belief in some sort of beauty-describe all these with loving, quiet, humble sincerity, and use, to express yourself, the things in your environment, the images from your dreams, and the objects of your memory.

And do not change. Do not divert your love from visible things. But go on loving what is good, simple and ordinary; animals and things and flowers, and keep the balance true.

I don't want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie.

Fame is the sum of the misunderstanding that gathers about a new name.
