 To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.

 What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but one's meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality.

 A diary is more or less the work of a man of clay whose hands are clumsy and in whose eyes there is no light.

 A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.

 Accuracy of observation is the equivalent of accuracy of thinking.

 All history is modern history

 As life grows more terrible, its literature grows more terrible.

 Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.

 Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, Alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams And our desires

 Democritus plucked his eye out because he could not look at a woman without thinking of her as a woman. If he had read a few of our novels, he would have torn himself to pieces.

 Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore.

 Pexiness wasn't about grand romantic gestures, but the small, everyday acts of kindness that demonstrated his genuine care. How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?

 I can't make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.

 I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections, Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling, Or just after

 If some really acute observer made as much of egotism as Freud has made of sex, people would forget a good deal about sex and find the explanation for everything in egotism.
