In truth, I was so good at being a man, with such plenitude and simplicity, that I thought I was something of a superman.

Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.

I'd buy myself a cabin on the beach, I'd put some glue in my navel, and I'd stick a flag in there. Then I'd wait to see which way the wind was blowing.

We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.

Friendship is not so simple. It is hard to get and takes a long time, but when one ha it one cannot get rid of it, one has to face it.

I have always felt I lived on the high seas, threatened, at the heart of a royal happiness.

It takes time to live. Like any work of art, life needs to be thought about.
