"I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat " — Edgar Allan Poe

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession

What is mysterious, secret, unknown, cannot at the same time be known as an object of faith

The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese

The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise

Love is the poetry of the senses.

Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame
