He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, while he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.

Only poetry inspires poetry.

What you are shouts at me so loudly that I can't hear a word you say.

Conformity is the ape of harmony.

Heaven often protects valuable souls charged with great secrets, great ideas, by long shutting them up with their own thoughts.
