If You Want To Annoy

Why Should The Eyes Be Denied What Delights Them Most?

I Am A Free Man. I Do Not Need To Copy Petrarca Or Boccaccio. My Own Genius Is Enough. Let Others Worry Themselves About Style, And So Cease To Be Themselves. Without A Master, Without A Model, Without A Guide, I Go To Work And Earn My Living, My Well-being And My Fame.

There Is No Food More Satiating Than Milk And Honey; And Just As Such Foods Produce Disgust For The Palate, So Perfumed And Gallant Words Make Our Ears Belch.

They Merit More Praise Who Know How To Suffer Misery Than Those Who Temper Themselves In Contentment.

We Are The Buffoons Of Our Children.
