My Fantoms QUOTES

My Fantoms QUOTES

1 " No one is truly dead until they are no longer loved. "

― Théophile Gautier , My Fantoms

2 " I longed to be able to gather my whole life-force into a single impulse, and transmit it to her and blow into her frozen remains the fire that was consuming me. "

― Théophile Gautier , My Fantoms

3 " Here a few poor and stunted flowers stood with drooping heads, like a convent of consumptive girls, waiting for a ray of sunlight to dry out their leaves already half-rotten with the damp. "

― Théophile Gautier , My Fantoms

4 " Tear up that funeral shroud—you are going to smother yourself in it. I am beauty, I am youth, I am life—come to me, and together we will be Love itself....Our life together will flow by like a dream, and it will be as one perpetual kiss. "

― Théophile Gautier , My Fantoms

5 " And then again, I am no longer quite such a good-looking young fellow that tapestries leap off the wall in my honour. "

― Théophile Gautier , My Fantoms
