I must choose to cease from suffering or to cease from loving.

The creation of the world did not occur at the beginning of time, it occurs every day.

It is not because other people are dead that our affection for them grows faint, it is because we ourselves are dying.

Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.

Every woman feels that the greater her power over a man, the more impossible it is to leave him except by sudden flight: a fugitive precisely because a queen.

But I consoled myself with the reflexion that in spite of everything she was for me the real point of intersection between reality and dream.

So difficult is it for us to know, with the dead as with the living, whether a thing would cause them joy or sorrow!

She was capable of causing me pain, but no longer any joy. Pain alone kept my wearisome attachment alive.

As with the future, it is not all at once but grain by grain that one savours the past.

I could no longer desire physically without feeling a need for her, without suffering from her absence.

We are meant to love. We are meant to lose. Love is our promise of a bittersweet end, and our desperate, hopeless struggle not to hurt anyone along the way.

Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if you're lucky, you get strange clues.

Everything was black in the harbor, but there were still some fires burning on the ships.

I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.

Poetry must be simple, sensuous, or impassioned.

Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.

I'm a bit of an insomniac. I'm always thinking. I've got a lot of ideas for lyrics and shows. I have a notepad by the side of the bed and voice recorders around the house.

You can either make it come around or you can't. By the time we would be ready to record a song, we would know for sure that it was the best way we could do it.

Results should not be too voluntarily aimed at or too busily thought of. They are sure to float up of their own accord from a long enough daily work at a given matter.
