I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.

If I commit suicide, it will not be to destroy myself but to put myself back together again.

We must wash literature off ourselves. We want to be men above all, to be human.

We have the right to lie, but not about the heart of the matter.

Actors are athletes of the heart.

Poetry is a dissociating and anarchic force which through analogy, associations and imagery, thrives on the destruction of known relationships.

We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.
