The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.

Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
