The more you approach infinity, the deeper you penetrate terror

Everything measurable passes, everything that can be counted has an end. Only three things are infinite: the sky in its stars, the sea in its drops of water, and the heart in its tears.

An infinity of passion can be contained in one minute, like a crowd in a small space.

There are two infinities that confuse me: the one in my soul devours me; the one around me will crush me

You must write for yourself, above all. That is your only hope of creating something beautiful.

I have come to have the firm conviction that vanity is the basis of everything, and finally that what one calls conscience is only inner vanity.
