What strangely enchanted tunes gush forth during those sleepless nights!

To exist is a habit I do not despair of acquiring.

Suffering makes you live time in detail, moment after moment. Which is to say that it exists for you: over the others, the ones who don't suffer, time flows, so that they don't live in time, in fact they never have.

Normal people have nothing to forget.

One doesn't live in a country, one lives in a language.

One can experience loneliness in two ways: by feeling lonely in the world or by feeling the loneliness of the world.

Not one moment when I have not been conscious of being outside Paradise.
