Always be a poet, even in prose. - Charles Baudelaire

"The beautiful is always bizarre."

"Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable."

"Life has but one true charm: the charm of the game. But what if we’re indifferent to whether we win or lose?"

"Inspiration comes of working every day."

"What strange phenomena we find in a great city, all we need do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters."
