Imagination, the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature, should be limited. In order to enjoy life, we should not enjoy it too much.
From Vladimir Nabokov
Complacency is a state of mind that exists only in retrospective: it has to be shattered before being ascertained.
I would like to spare the time and effort of hack reviewers and, generally, persons who move their lips when reading.
The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.
Caress the detail, the divine detail.
Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.
There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.
The evolution of sense is, in a sense, the evolution of nonsense.
I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is.
Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.
