With the beginning of life, comes the thirst for truth, whereas the ability to lie is gradually acquired in the process of trying to stay alive.

If you want to do anything, do it now, without compromise or concession, because you have only one life.

Walk where your heart leads you, there are no restrictions and no burdens.

For me, writing [was] a question of survival...I could not trust anyone, even my family. The atmosphere was so poisoned. People even in your own family could turn you in.

I believe in science but I also believe in fate.

With the beginning of life, comes the thirst for truth, whereas the ability to lie is gradually acquired in the process of trying to stay alive.

Writing eases my suffering . . . writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.
