Who knows how to taste wine never drinks wine again, but tastes secrets instead

I do not believe in my death.

Great wine requires a mad man to grow the vine, a wise man to watch over it, a lucid poet to make it, and a lover to drink it.

The famous soft watches are nothing else than the tender, extravagant, solitary, paranoic-critical camembert oftime and space.

The reason some portraits don't look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures.

I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.

Do not strive to be a modern artist: it's the one thing, unfortunately, you can't help being.
