There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for. - Charles Baudelaire

The child, in love with prints and maps,
Holds the whole world in his vast appetite.
How large the earth is under the lamplight!
But in the eyes of memory, how the world is cramped!

This life is a hospital where each patient is possessed by the desire to change his bed.

How difficult it is to understand each other, my dear angel, and how much thought is incommunicable, even between people who love each other!
