When you die, you are extinguished. From being you will be transformed to non-being. A god does not necessarily dwell among our capricious atoms.

I want to stop. I want to stay on Fårö, and read the books I haven’t read, find out things I haven’t yet found out. I want to write things I haven’t written. To listen to music, and talk to my neighbors. To live together with my wife a very calm, very secure, very lazy existence, for the rest of my life.

I feel very strongly that I’m surrounded by other realities.

I hope I never get so old I get religious.

Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.

I'd prostitute my talents if it would further my cause, steal if there was no way out, killing my friends or anyone else if it would help my art.

Growing older is like climbing a mountain: the higher you get, the more strength you need, but the further you see.
