Barbarism Is Needed Every Four Or Five

I Have Always Derived Indescribable Pleasure From Leading A Decent Woman To The Edge Of Sin And Leaving Her There To Live Between The Temptation And The Fear Of That Sin.

Today I Begin To Understand What Love Must Be, If It Exists... When We Are Parted, We Each Feel The Lack Of The Other Half Of Ourselves. We Are Incomplete Like A Book In Two Volumes Of Which The First Has Been Lost. That Is What I Imagine Love To Be: Incompleteness In Absence.

Barbarism Is Needed Every Four Or Five Hundred Years To Bring The World Back To Life. Otherwise It Would Die Of Civilization.

The Past Is Of No Importance. The Present Is Of No Importance. It Is With The Future That We Have To Deal. For The Past Is What Man Should Not Have Been. The Present Is What Man Ought Not To Be. The Future Is What Artists Are. The Facts: Nothing Matters But The Facts: Worship Of The Facts Leads To Everything, To Happiness First Of All And Then To Wealth.

Historians Tell The Story Of The Past, Novelists The Story Of The Present.
