Friendship is a treasured gift, and every time I talk with you I feel as if I'm getting richer and richer

Friendship often ends in love, but love in friendship - never.

It is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners.

February 13, 1936
I ask of people more than they can give me. It is useless to maintain the contrary. But what a mistake and what despair. And myself perhaps...

Seek contacts. All contacts. If I want to write about men, should I stop talking about the countryside? If the sky or light attract me, shall I forget the eyes or voices of those I love? Each time I am given the elements of a friendship, the fragments of an emotion, never the emotion or the friendship itself.

I cannot stand the company of men. They flatter or they judge. I can stand neither of the two.

Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend
