He is never inspired because he is unceasingly inspired, because the powers of poetry are always at his disposition, subjected to his will, submissive to his own activity Picture Quote #1
Being or nothing, that is the question. Ascending, descending, coming, going, a man does so much that in the end he disappears Picture Quote #1
We have gotten away from this double aspect of either putting the character back into historical events or of making a historical event of his very life Picture Quote #1
To have one’s own story told by a third party who doesn’t know that the character in question is himself the hero of the story being told, that’s a technical refinement Picture Quote #1
