To write? Because all this is going to vanish. The only thing left will be the prose and poems, the books, what is written down. Man was very fortunate to have invented the book. Without it the past would completely vanish, and we would be left with nothing, we would be naked on earth.

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.

I like to write about certain things that if they are not written about are not going to exist.

Hope but not enthusiasm is the proper state for the writer.

I'd say the biggest relationship is the repetition of certain themes. I don't want to say "topics," but certain points of interest.

Life is weather. Life is meals.
