When Intelligent People Pride Themselves On Not

Drunkenness Is Never Anything But A Substitute For Happiness.

Nothing Is So Silly As The Expression Of A Man Who Is Being Complimented.

No Encounter Occured That Day, And I Was Glad Of It; I Took Out Of My Pocket A Little Homer I Had Not Opened Since Leaving Marseilles, Reread Three Lines Of The Odyssey, Learned Them By Heart; Then, Finding Sufficient Sustenance In Their Rhythm And Reveling In Them At Leisure, I Closed The Book And Remained, Trembling, More Alive Than I Had Thought Possible, My Mind Numb With Happiness.

It Would Be Wisest Not To Worry Too Much About The Sterile Periods. They Ventilate The Subject And Instill Into It The Reality Of Daily Life.

The Great Artist Is One Whom Constraint Exalts, For Whom The Obstacle Is A Springboard.
