I smoke all the time, one after the other.

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

I always look well when I'm near death.

It is bitter to think of one's best years disappearing in this unpolished country.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.

I like the sea: we understand one another. It is always yearning, sighing for something it cannot have; and so am I.

I don't like writers. They're dangerous people.
