"The beautiful is always bizarre."
"One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk."
"If the word doesn't exist, invent it; but first be sure it doesn't exist."
"Life has but one true charm: the charm of the game. But what if we’re indifferent to whether we win or lose?"
