Happiness is often at its most intense when it is based on inequality.

But that isn't my life. I have said many times I don't want to be considered one who once flew fighters. That's not who I am. I devoted the subsequent 50 years - more - to writing.

I don't hold myself dictated to by what everyone is saying, by the tabloids or popular opinion. I don't like bourgeois values. I say you find your own way to live.

You are perfectly entitled to invent your life and to claim that it's true.

Happiness is often at its most intense when it is based on inequality.

The whole joy of writing comes from the opportunity to go over it and make it good, one way or another.

Events need their invitation, dissolutions their start.
