“How to Write a PoemCatch the airaround the butterfly.”
“Read like a butterfly, write like a bee.”
“Teach me how to fly, my beautiful butterfly.”
“It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop.”
“My loathings are simple. stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music. My pleasures are the most intense known to man: writing and butterfly hunting.”
“Treachery is always a hairy caterpillar bred of a small butterfly called envy, no matter how lofty the principles involved.”
