“I love making, I love doing. I love being to the full, I love everything which is not sitting and watching and copying and dead at heart.”

“If you forget everything else about me, please remember this. I walked down that street and I never looked back and I love you. I love you. I love you so much that I shall hate you for ever for today.”

“I had got away from what I hated, but I hadn’t found where I loved, and so I pretended that there was nowhere to love.”

“The dead live." "How do they live?" "By love.”

“I read and I read; and I was like a medieval king, I had fallen in love with the picture long before I saw the reality.”

“I have a strange illusion quite often. I think I've become deaf. I have to make a little noise to prove I'm not. I clear my throat to show myself that everything is normal. It's like the little Japanese girl they found in the ruins of Hiroshima. Everything dead; and she was singing to her doll.”

“Let those love now who've never loved; let those who've loved, love yet again.”
