My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles. I weep when I find others play them for me. My real self is unknown. My work is merely an essence of this vast and deep adventure.

It amazes me that you feel that each time you write a story you give away one of your dreams and you feel the poorer for it. But then you have not thought that this dream is planted in others, others begin to live it too, it is shared, it is the beginning of friendship and love. How is this world made which you enjoy, the friends around me that you love? They came because I first gave away my stories.

Since desire always goes towards that which is our direct opposite, it forces us to love that which will make us suffer.

Eroticism is one of the basic means of self-knowledge, as indispensable as poetry.

To change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one's mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use.

We don't have a language for the senses. Feelings are images, sensations are like musical sounds.

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
