Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth.

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.

Happy the man when he has not the defects of his qualities.

Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious spirit which hovers over the production of genius.

I enjoy trying to inspire myself. I enjoy the artistic side of everything. Music, art, fashion, everything. I just like to be on the cutting edge of it. I'm into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing.

I began my writing life as a poet, so poetry has always been fundamental. I evolved from poetry to journalism to stories to novels. But poetry was always there.

Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason's imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.

Creativity takes courage.
