Francis  Bacon
“You always have to go too far to get anywhere at all, in art or life.”
Francis Bacon (painter)

Jean Cocteau
“Si vous voulez que je vous dise quel est le drâme de la poésie : c'est que la poésie est, malgré tout, un privilège aristocratique de naissance ; et que tous les privilèges conduise directement à la guillotine.”
Jean Cocteau

Lord Byron
“Too high for common selfishness, he could
At times resign his own for others’ good,
But not in pity, not because he ought,
But in some strange perversity of thought,
That swayed him onward with a secret pride
To do what few or none would do beside;
And this same impulse would, in tempting time,
Mislead his spirit equally in crime;
So much he soared beyond, or sunk beneath,
The men with whom he felt condemned to breathe,
And longed by good or ill to separate
Himself from all who shared his mortal state.”
Lord Byron, Lara

“There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. A personal God is a disappointing God; and Job, Omar Khayyam, Euripides, Palladas, Voltaire and Professor Housman will denounce him. With Buddhism, Taoism, Quietism, and the God of Spinoza there can be no disappointment, because there is no Appointment.”
Palinurus, The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus

Stendhal
“Zoals alle geniale mensen die van een grote gedachte bezeten zijn, liep Cochin het risico zijn landerijen te moeten verkopen.”
Stendhal, Lucien Leuwen
