Romanticism Is The Abuse Of Adjectives

The Heart That Once Has Been Your Shrine For Other Loves Is Too Divine

I See That You Believe In Love Such As The Poets And Romancers Have Represented... The Poets Represent Love As The Sculptors Design Beauty, As The Musicians Create Melody; That Is To Say, Endowed With An Exquisite Nervous Organization, They Gather Up With Discerning Ardor The Purest Elements Of Life, The Most Beautiful Lines Of Matter, And The Most Harmonious Voices Of Nature.... To Try To Find In Real Life Such Love As This, Eternal And Absolute, Is The Same Thing As To Seek On The Public Squares Such A Woman As Venus Or To Expect Nightingales To Sing The Symphonies Of Beethoven.

Experience Is The Name Men Give To Their Follies Or Their Sorrows.

How Glorious It Is - And Also How Painful - To Be An Exception.

The Life Of A Devotee Is A Crusade Of Which The Heart Is The Holy Land.
