Sooner barbarity than boredom.
From Theophile Gautier
I was born to travel and write verse.
Critical lice are like body lice, which desert corpses to seek the living.
Books follow morals, and not morals books.
Any man who does not have his inner world to translate is not an artist.
The word poet literally means maker: anything which is not well made doesn't exist.
Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.
I am one of those for whom superfluity is a necessity.
You do not become a critic until it has been completely established to your own satisfaction that you cannot be a poet.
