  • Arithmetic! Algebra! Geometry! Grandiose trinity! Luminous triangle! Whoever has not known you is without sense!

  • Naturally I drew register a little exaggerated, in order to create something new in the sense of a sublime literature that sings of despair only in order to oppress the reader, and make him desire the good as the remedy.

  • Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair; despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness.

  • Although according to certain philosophers it is quite difficult to distinguish the jester from the melancholic, life itself being a comic drama or a dramatic comedy.

  • Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all other qualities. It is the ne plus ultra of the intelligence.

  • It is a power stronger than will. Could a stone escape from the laws of gravity? Impossible. Impossible, for evil to form an alliance with good.

  • As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.

  • Poetry must be made by all and not by one.

  • Farewell until eternity, where you and I shall not find ourselves together.

  • I will leave no memoirs.

  • Real sorrow is incompatible with hope. No matter how great that sorrow may be, hope raises it one hundred cubits higher.
