More quotes by Remy de Gourmont
Women live entirely in the present, men much more in the future where nature is less well organized.
The decisive gestures in life are almost always the simplest, the most ingenuous.
All poetry is an affair of the body, that is, to be real, it must affect the body.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
