"One must still have chaos in oneself..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

“It is only those who know how to feel that "this is not good" who devise improvements.”

“Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?”

“'For Whom the Bell Tolls' was a problem which I carried on each day. I knew what was going to happen in principle. But I invented what happened each day I wrote.”

“He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize”

“Happiness Is A Warm Gun not about heroin. A gun magazine was sitting there with a smoking gun on the cover and an article that I never read inside called 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' I took it right from there. I took it as the terrible idea of just having shot some animal.”

“It was a murky confusion — here and there blotted with a color like the color of the smoke from damp fuel — of flying clouds tossed up into most remarkable heaps, suggesting greater heights in the clouds than there were depths below them to the bottom of the deepest hollows in the earth, through which the wild moon seemed to plunge headlong, as if, in a dread disturbance of the laws of nature, she had lost her way and were frightened.”

“If Heaven were not clear it might rend. If Earth were not firm it might crumble.”

“Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.”
