Everything interests me, but nothing holds me.

Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.

I'm astounded whenever I finish something. Astounded and distressed. My perfectionist instinct should inhibit me from finishing; it should inhibit me from even beginning. But I get distracted and start doing something. What I achieve is not the product of an act of my will but of my will's surrender. I begin because I don't have the strength to think; I finish because I don't have the courage to quit. This book is my cowardice.

Let us sculpt in hopeless silence all our dreams of speaking.

It is noble to be shy, illustrious not to know how to act, great not to have a gift for living.

Wasting time has an esthetics to it.

The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!
