Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial. | | A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counsellor, a multitude of counsellors. | | Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place. | | An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion. | | There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create. |
