Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious. - Jean Cocteau

"Every poem is a coat of arms. It must be deciphered. How much blood, how many tears in exchange for these axes, these muzzles, these unicorns, these torches, these towers, these martlets, these seedlings of stars and these fields of blue!"

"I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?"

"The day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying."

"Mirrors should think longer before they reflect."

"An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture."
