Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing. - Salvador Dalí

Que hablen bien o mal, lo importante es que hablen de mí, aunque confieso que me gusta que hablen mal porque eso significa que las cosas me van muy bien. De los mediocres no habla nadie, y cuando hablan sólo dicen maravillas.

The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

Let the labyrinth of wrinkles be furrowed in my brow with the red-hot iron of my own life, let my hair whiten and my step become vacillating, on condition that I can save the intelligence of my soul - let my unformed childhood soul, as it ages, assume the rational and esthetic forms of an architecture, let me learn just everything that others cannot teach me, what only life would be capable of marking deeply in my skin!
