Quotes

Now you are walking in Paris all alone in the crowd. As herds of bellowing buses drive by. Love's anguish tightens your throat. As if you were never to be loved again. If you lived in the old days you would enter a monastery. You are ashamed when you discover yourself reciting a prayer. You make fun of yourself and like the fire of Hell your laughter crackles. The sparks of your laugh gild the depths of your life. It's a painting hanging in a dark museum. And sometimes you go and look at it... Guillaume Apollinaire
Automn ill and adored. You die when the hurricane blows in the roseries. When it has snowed. In the orchard trees. Poor automn Dead in whiteness and riches. Of snow and ripe fruits. Deep in the sky. The sparrow hawks cry. Over the sprites with green hair dwarfs. Who've never been loved. Inthe far tree-lines. The stags are groaning. And how I love O season how I love your rumbling. The falling fruits that no one gathers. The wind in the forest that are tumbling. All their tears in automn leaf... Guillaume Apollinaire
Vase[Why weep Come back tomorrow There are also poisonous flowers and flowers always open in the evening she loves the cinema she has been in Russia Love married with disdain Pearl-studded watch a trip to Montrouge Maisons- Lafitte and everything finishes in perfumes remember Let the flower bloom and let the fruit rot and let the grain sprout while the storms rage] Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "I love men, not for what unites them, but for what divides..."
I love men, not for what unites them, but for what divides them, and I want to know most of all what gnaws at their hearts. Guillaume Apollinaire
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos. There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere. Guillaume Apollinaire
It's raining women's voicesas if they had diedeven in memory, and it's raining you as well-Marvellous encounters of my life(o little drops!) Guillaume Apollinaire
Without poets, without artists... everything would fall apart into chaos. There would be no more seasons, no more civilizations, no more thought, no more humanity, no more life even; and impotent darkness would reign forever. Poets and artists together determine the features of their age, and the future meekly conforms to their edit. Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness..."
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. Guillaume Apollinaire
Oh Paris. From red to green all the yellow dies away. Paris Vancouver Hyeres Maintenon New York and the Antilles. The window opens like an orange. The beautiful fruit of light("Windows") Guillaume Apollinaire
Today you are walking in Paris the women are all steeped in blood. It was and I'd rather not remember it was at beauty's decline Guillaume Apollinaire
You alone in Europe are not ancient oh Christianity. The most modern European is you Pope Pius XAnd you whom the windows observe shame keeps you. From entering a church and confessing this morning. You read the prospectuses the catalogues the billboards that sing aloud. That's the poetry this morning and for the prose there are the newspapers. There are the 25 centime serials full of murder mysteries. Portraits of great men and a thousand different headlines("Zone") Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of..."
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "The plastic virtues: purity, unity, and truth, keep nature in..."
The plastic virtues: purity, unity, and truth, keep nature in subjection. Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when..."
A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature. Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "It's raining my soul, it's raining, but it's raining dead eyes."
It's raining my soul, it's raining, but it's raining dead eyes. Guillaume Apollinaire
