There is no denying that we are suffering from a collective neurosis and the novel which does not face this is not a novel of our time Picture Quote #1

Willingness to explore everything is a sign of strength. The weak ones have prejudices. Prejudices are a protection Picture Quote #1

All the art of analysis consists in saying a truth only when the other person is ready for it, has been prepared for it by an organic process of gradation and evolution Picture Quote #1

The period without the diary remains an ordeal. Every evening I want my diary as one wants opium Picture Quote #1

The best way to remember a beautiful city or a beautiful painting is to eat something while you are looking at it. The flavor really helps the image to penetrate the body. It fixes it as lacquer does a drawing Picture Quote #1

The inner chambers of the soul are like the photographer’s darkroom. Like a laboratory. One cannot stay there all the time or it becomes the solitary cell of the neurotic Picture Quote #1

It is difficult to live with the pure. They do not condemn you; they forgive you. This forgiveness is more terrible than a judgment Picture Quote #1

Although I love a rich life, I hate an overcrowded life. I believe in rumination and lose half the beauty of all things when I am deprived of the time to ruminate Picture Quote #1

If a person continues to see only giants, it means he is still seeing the world through the eyes of a child. I have a feeling that man’s fear of woman comes from having first seen her as the mother, creator of men Picture Quote #1

We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them Picture Quote #1
