I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Desire is possibility seeking expression.

In the vaunted works of Art, The master-stroke is Nature's part.

The highest virtue is always against the law.

Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage.

The doctrine of Necessity or Destiny is the doctrine of Toleration.

The world belongs to the energetic.
