to fight for each minute is to fight for what is possible within yourself, so that your life and your death will not be like theirs.

There's nothing like privacy. You know, I like people. It's nice that they might like my books and all that...but I'm not the book, see? I'm the guy who wrote it, but I don't want them to come up and throw roses on me or anything. I want them to let me breathe.

This is very important -- to take leisure time. Pace is the essence. Without stopping entirely and doing nothing at all for great periods, you're gonna lose everything...just to do nothing at all, very, very important. And how many people do this in modern society? Very few. That's why they're all totally mad, frustrated, angry and hateful.

pain is absurd because it exists, nothing more.

some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.

my youth, one time, that time I knew even through the nothingness, it was a celebration of something not to do but only know.
