Total Eclipse

I found it. Eternity. Where the sun mingles with the sea.

The only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable.

— What's your greatest fear?
— That other people will see me as I see them.

I choose you for a very good reason. You see, I've always known what to say. But you... you always know how to say it.

I couldn't care less about being published. The only thing that matters is the writing itself. Everything else is literature.

Love... no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together that's not love, that's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist. Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists, but not love. Love has to be reinvented.

I used to think that what I did would make a difference, you know, change the world. That nothing would ever be the same again. But it's no good. The world is too old and there's nothing new. It's all been said.

I understood that what I needed to become the first poet of this century is to experience everything in my body. It's no longer enough for me to be one person, I decided to be everyone. I decided to be a genius. I decided to originate the future.

I offer you an archetypal choice. The choice is between my body and my soul.

I think it's less important to love the soul. After all, the soul may be immortal. We have plenty of time for the soul... but flesh rots.

— I don't like hurting people.
— Then don't. But if you do, do it coolly. Don't insult your victims by feeling sorry afterwards.

— Do you think poets can learn from one another?
— Only if they're bad poets.
