Stendhal

The pleasures of love are always in proportion to our fears.

Logic is neither an art nor a science but a dodge.

Friendship has its illusions no less than love.

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

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?
