Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me. I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

I only regret that everybody wants to deprive me of the journal, which is the only steadfast friend I have, the only one which makes my life bearable, because my happiness with human beings is so precarious, my confiding moods rare, and the least sign of non-interest is enough to silence me. In the journal I am at ease.

The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

notes fly so much farther than words. There is no other way to reach the infinite.

Creation which cannot express itself becomes madness.

Image
Also, I do not like the companionship of women. They are petty and personal. They hang on to their mysteries and secrets, they act and pretend. I like the character of men better.
