Quotes by Theophile Gautier
“ I am a man for whom the visible world exists. ”
“ To be born is to have commenced to die. ”
“ Eyes so transparent that through them one sees the lucent soul. ”
“ Art for art's sake means‚ for its adepts‚ the pursuit of pure beauty – without any other consideration. ”
“ There is nothing truly beautiful but that which can never be of any use whatsoever; everything useful is ugly. ”
“ Virginity, mysticism, melancholy, – three unknown words, – three new maladies brought in by Christ. ”
“ Fancy demanding feeling from poetry! That's not the main thing at all. Radiant words, words of light, full of rhythm and music, that's poetry. ”
“ Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign. ”
“ Such in the Landes of our world is the poet's stance;
When he receives no wound, his treasure he'll retain.
With such deep cut mankind his heart must also lance,
To make him spill his verse, his gold tears' gushing rain! ”
“ Yes, the work comes out more fair,
From a form that rebels against
Handling,
Verse, marble, onyx, enamel. ”
