I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

Talent imitates, but genius steals.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.

The soul is so far from being a monad that we have not only to interpret other souls to ourself but to interpret ourself to ourself.

And the end and the beginning were always there Before the beginning and after the end.

Those who say they give the public what it wants begin by underestimating public taste and end by debauching it.

In the end is my beginning.
