Your imagination, my dear fellow, is worth more than you imagine Picture Quote #1

The function of genius is to furnish cretins with ideas twenty years later Picture Quote #1

There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses Picture Quote #1

Can the knowledge deriving from reason even begin to compare with knowledge perceptible by sense? Picture Quote #1

There are other relations besides reality, which the mind is capable of grasping and which also are primary, like chance, illusion, the fantastic, the dream Picture Quote #1

And there are loners in rural communities who, at the equinox, are said to don new garments and stroll down to the cities, where great beasts await them, fat and docile Picture Quote #1

The carnal contact side by side, from heel to armpit, brings shudders that shake up nature like the flights of nocturnal birds Picture Quote #1

Reality is the apparent absence of contradiction. The marvelous is the eruption of contradiction within the real Picture Quote #1

Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason’s imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work Picture Quote #1

Yes, I read. I have that absurd habit. I like beautiful poems, moving poetry, and all the beyond of that poetry. I am extraordinarily sensitive to those poor, marvelous words left in our dark night by a few men I never knew Picture Quote #1

There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them. This darkness, which he imagines he can dispense with in describing the light, is error with its unknown characteristics. Error is certainty’s constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater Picture Quote #1

The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts Picture Quote #1

Error is certainty’s constant companion. Error is the corollary of evidence. And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater Picture Quote #1

We know that the nature of genius is to provide idiots with ideas twenty years later Picture Quote #1

Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd Picture Quote #1

Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash Picture Quote #1
