I know that poetry is indispensable, but to what I could not say

When a work of art appears to be in advance of its period, it is really the period that has lagged behind the work of art

The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood.

Rikedom är ett medfött sinnelag, som fattigdom. Tiggaren som har skrapat ihop sin förmögenhet kan visa upp sina byten, men kan inte bära dem på ett trovärdigt sätt.

Wealth is an inborn attitude of mind, like poverty. The pauper who has made his pile may flaunt his spoils, but cannot wear them plausibly.

There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.

The speed of a runaway horse counts for nothing

The trouble about the Academie is that by the time they get around to electing us to a seat, we really need a bed.

Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images

Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.

The ear disapproves but tolerates certain musical pieces; transfer them into the domain of our nose, and we will be forced to flee.

What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist's presence makes itself felt above that of the model. With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul's style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.

The essential in daring is to know how far one can go too far
