“The old believe everything: the middle-aged suspect everything: the young know everything.”

'Illusion is the first of all pleasures'

To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.

Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.

Everyday i realize more and more that seriousness is the last refuge of the shallow... ;)
