I am a man for whom the outside world exists.

Nothing is really beautiful unless it is useless; everything useful is ugly, for it expresses a need, and the needs of man are ignoble and disgusting, like his poor weak nature. The most useful place in a house is the lavatory.

Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen.

I was born to travel and write verse.

If thou wilt be mine, I shall make thee happier than God Himself in His paradise. The angels themselves will be jealous of thee. Tear off that funeral shroud in which thou about to wrap thyself. I am Beauty, I am Youth, I am Life. Come to me! Together we shall be Love.

I belong to those for whom the superfluous is necessary.

No one is truly dead until they are no longer loved.
