Quotes by Max Jacob

“The poets expression of joy conceals his despair at not having found the reality of joy.”

“Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life”

“Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.”

Friendship is inexplicable, it should not be explained if one doesnt want to kill it.
