Paul Eluard

“The earth is blue like an orange.”

“Our eyes are full of sleep, our hands are full of love, our souls are full of things that can't be said.”

“Sleep is a skilled magician, it changes the proportions of things.”

“There is another world, but it is in this one.”

“The curve of your eyes goes around my heart.”

“I was born to know you, to name you, Liberty.”

“A woman is more beautiful than the world in which I live.”

“The poet is he who inspires, rather than he who is inspired.”

“And because I love you, everything moves.”

“To see, to hear, means to imagine.”

“On my notebooks from school, on my desk and the trees, on the sand, on the snow, I write your name.”

“The deaf can't hear, but they can speak. The blind can't see, but they can love.”

“Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a tapestry, woven from the threads of error and discovery.”

“I sing for the pleasure of singing.”

“The fire is kindled, the first smoke is the first dream.”

“The past is a nest of pains.”
