The world is always greater than your desires; plenty is never enough.

Your nightmares follow you like a shadow, forever.

One builds one's life in consistency; one invests it with the belief, however unsupported by reality, that one has always been what one is now, that even in one's distant past one could recognize the seed from which this doomed flower has bloomed.

Literature is always something - it is either story or poetry, ideally both. That is, you always know what it is and even if the interpretation is not available, the experience of language is.

If you can't go home, there is nowhere to go, and nowhere is the biggest place in the world-indeed, nowhere is the world.

Home is where somebody notices when you are no longer there.

Politics is about ethics and morality, openly or not openly.
