But life isn't hard to manage when you've nothing to lose.

After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love.

We thought of wine as something as healthy and normal as food and also as a great giver of happiness and well being and delight.

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened and after you are finished reading one you feel that it all happened to you and after which it all belongs to you.

Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?

The people that I liked and had not met went to the big cafes because they were lost in them and no one noticed them and they could be alone in them and be together.

This was the price you paid for sleeping together. This was the end of the trap. This was what people got for loving each other.
