Rainer Maria Rilke

There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages.

Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.

It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.

I squirrel away sealed greeting cards that people give me so I can open them later when I'm having a bad day.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.
