In all the universe nothing remains permanent and unchanged but the spirit.

If you look at anything long enough, say just that wall in front of you - it will come out of that wall.

In short stories it is better to say not enough than to say too much, because, because--I don't know why.

I still lack a political, religious and philosophical world view - I change it every month - and so I'll have to limit myself to descriptions of how my heroes love, marry, give birth, die, and how they speak.

Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and when he dies the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive... Everything that is unattainable for us now will one day be near and clear... But we must work.

One must speak about serious things seriously.

Art, especially the stage, is an area where it is impossible to walk without stumbling.
