It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.""The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity""Nothing has really happened until it has been described""I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman""It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality""The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder""No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself""You cannot find peace by avoiding life""The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages""Arrange whatever pieces come your way"
