“Es una simple cuestión de estética. Eso es lo que se pretende: la belleza. No se trata de transmitir ideas. Eso era antes. Ahora se persigue... —El poeta agitó las manos en el aire—. La hermosura..., incluso en la muerte. Lo único que tiene importancia es eso: el arte. El arte por el arte. No existe institución, ni territorio, ni autoridad ni sentimiento que venga a imponernos una sola letra.”

“The past doesn't exist. There is nothing to be sorry for. Today is when we start to live. Look... look at the sea. The sea has no past. It is just there. It will never ask us to explain. The stars, the moon are there to light our way, to shine for us. What do they care what might have happened in the past? They are accompanying us, and are happy with that; can you see them shine? The stars are twinkling in the sky; would they do that if the past mattered? Wouldn't there be a huge storm if God wanted to punish us? We are alone, you and I, with no past, no memories, no guilt, nothing that can stand in the way of... our love.”
