Reading a novel of a private experience, very, very different, the nature of it is very different.
Better freedom with a crust, than slavery with every luxury.
Doubt whom you will, but never yourself.
Our first and last love is self-love.
We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.
It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.
When all else is lost, the future still remains.
I have always thought of poems as stepping stones in one's own sense of oneself.
All along, let us remember we are not asked to understand, but simply to obey.
You wouldn't know it, from some of the things I've said over the years, but I like people. . . I do. . . I like people, but I like them in short bursts. I don't like people for extended periods of time. I'm all right with them for a little while, but once you get past around a minute, minute-and-a-half, I gotta get the f*** outta there.
I just made a balls of it, old boy. That's all there was to it.
