In the spring mornings I would work early while my wife still slept. The windows were open wide and the cobbles of the street were drying after the rain.

I wanted to try this new drink: That's all we do, isn't it - look at things and try new drinks?

Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together.

Everybody has something wrong with them.

That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best - make it all up - but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way.

America is the land of wide lawns and narrow minds.

I always worked until I had something done and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day.
