The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.

There are poets and there are grownups.

I have been known for some time as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite.

There are truths which one can only say after having won the right to say them.

A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.

A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
