Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us.

If you know you're worth nothing, only a gamble with death can gratify your vanity.

Stories have no point if they don't absorb our terror.

Maybe when we die, the first thing we'll say is 'I know this feeling. I was here before'.

When you try to unravel something you've written, you belittle it in a way. It was created as a mystery.

...Because what's the meaning of doing dishes if you're not driven by something beyond necessity.

We need time to lose interest in things.
