I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space Picture Quote #1

Whatever one wishes to say, there is one noun only by which to express it, one verb only to give it life, one adjective only which will describe it. One must search until one has discovered them, this noun, this verb, this adjective, and never rest content with approximations, never resort to trickery, however happy, or to vulgarism, in order to dodge the difficulty Picture Quote #1

Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face. But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare Picture Quote #1

You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who have fought for it, life has a flavor the protected shall never know Picture Quote #1

A strange art - music - the most poetic and precise of all the arts, vague as a dream and precise as algebra Picture Quote #1

We live always under the weight of the old and odious customs... Of our barbarous ancestors Picture Quote #1
