***************
Literature is
the contradiction between
pride and nothingness
***************
Luminous evil
is the only remedy
for health and balance
***************
Logic will oppress
all the faculties . . . It is
feeding on a stone
***************
Supreme beauty is
a cruel punishment . . . It
sings of wickedness
***************
The Trinity is
a phantasmagoria
of sublime despair
***************
Scorn universal
laws . . . Doubt not! Gravity is
exaggerated
***************
Utopia is
impossible without the
sanction of good taste
***************
Geometry of
grandiose desire . . . Ultra
divine triangle!
