The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.

The true return to nature is the definitive return to the elements-death.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

I would like the events never to be told directly by the author, but rather to be introduced (and several times, from various angles) by those among the characters on whom they will have had any effect. I would like those events, in the account they will make of them, to appear slightly distorted; a kind of interest stems, for the reader, from the simple fact that he should need to restore. The story requires his collaboration in order to properly take shape.

We prefer to go deformed and distorted all our lives rather than not resemble the portrait of ourselves which we ourselves have first drawn. It’s absurd. We run the risk of warping what’s best in us

"Let the dead bury the dead." There is not a single word of Christ to which the Christian religion has paid less attention.

Our judgements about things vary according to the time left us to live -that we think is left us to live.
