“I am not crying, but have tears in my heart.”
― Vaslav Nijinsky, The Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky

“You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination, now you don’t even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were wonderful. Because you had genius and intellect. Because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid. My god, how mad I was to love you! What a fool I have been. You are nothing to me now. I will never see you again. I will never think of you. I will never mention your name. You don’t know what you were to me once. Why once—oh—I can’t bear to think of it. I wish I’d never laid eyes upon you. You have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love, if you say it mars your art. What are you without your art? Nothing! (Dorian)”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings

“People have nothing to do and therefore they interfere with the life of others. I dont want to interfere with the life of others.”
― Vaslav Nijinsky

“But alas! my Lord, what is blood! what is nobility! We are all reptiles, miserable, sinful creatures. It is piety alone that can distinguish us from the dust whence we sprung, and whither we must return.”
― Horace Walpole, The Castle of Otranto
