I am not afraid of dying. I have lived longer than most people in the world. What scares me is to have a body that works but a brain that is waving goodbye. If that happens, I hope I die quickly.

Have I ever written anything that has really changed something? What I believe is that you can't change anything without using art. I believe that the drops wear away the stone. I try to be part of that army.

The stories I create are never as awful as reality.

The evil always comes from details.

We used to send whole flocks of birds shooting out of our mouths and never managed to grab them by their wings.

You think you know everything about a person, but the truth often comes as a surprise.

We only have the past that we have. Not all of our deeds were incorrect.
