Love exalts as much as glory does.

Genius does not only pertain to the brain, it belongs above all to the heart.

You are not only the solar spectrum with the seven luminous colours, but the sun himself, that illumines, warms, and revivifies! This is what you are, and I am the lowly woman that adores you.

What is delayed is not lost.

I must have true love or nothing.

I could dispense with life sooner than with your love.

When I am dead, I am certain that the imprint of my love will be found on my heart. It is impossible to worship as I do without leaving some visible trace behind when life is over.

The abuse of love, like the abuse of health, brings suffering and death in its train.

I write to get ideas out of my head

I never had a Christmass at home for about 10 years.

Be dogmatically true, obstinately holy, immovably honest, desperately kind, fixedly upright.

I'm always very interested in going and discovering a young director's films.

The artist looks for a subject. You know, a lot of new poets don't seem to have a subject. I don't totally understand that.

Justice must not only be seen to be done but has to be seen to be believed.

I feel I have proved myself just as much as everybody else does. I usually don't think about the past too much. I just try to perform the routines I have been practicing.

I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.

A daily blog would just about finish me off completely.

I feel like a slave, and in a way like an artist, because I need to get inspiration everyday, from everything and everyone.
