I should wish [Alain Robbe-Grillet] to realize that Guinea exists.

I am. I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I . . . because . . . ugh!

I exist, that is all, and I find it nauseating.

The lad who dreams of being a boxing champion or an admiral chooses reality. If the writer chooses the imaginary, he confuses the two.

The aim of language...is to communicate...to impart to others the results one has obtained...As I talk, I reveal the situation...I reveal it to myself and to others in order to change it.

Il n'y a de réalité que dans l'action. (There is no reality except in action.)

One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.
