Man's creative struggle, his search for wisdom and truth, is a love story.
The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man.
Most real relationships are involuntary.
But fantasy kills imagination, pornography is death to art.
Every artist is an unhappy lover. And unhappy lovers want to tell their story.
I live, I live, with an absolutely continuous sense of failure. I am always defeated, always. Every book is the wreck of a perfect idea. The years pass and one has only one life. If one has a thing at all one must do it and keep on and on and on trying to do it better.
