Only the sea, murmurous behind the dingy checkerboard of houses, told of the unrest, the precariousness, of all things in this world.

On good days, if you trust life, life has to answer you.

Any country where I am not bored is a country that teaches me nothing.

I am too much in love with my lies and hypocrisies not to confess them fervently.

The absurd is sin without God.

Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.

God put self-pity by the side of despair like the cure by the side of the disease.
