“No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.”

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?”

“For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and Passion, unattended,”

“My house says to me, "Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.”

“Chase your stars fool, life is short.”

“Wordplay hides a key to reality that the dictionary tries in vain to lock inside every free word.”

“What is a woman that you forsake her”

“My soul”

“When soul meets soul on lovers' lips.”

“Just as in the second part of a verse bad poets seek a thought to fit their rhyme, so in the second half of their lives people tend to become more anxious about finding actions, positions, relationships that fit those of their earlier lives, so that everything harmonizes quite well on the surface: but their lives are no longer ruled by a strong thought, and instead, in its place, comes the intention of finding a rhyme.”
