I believe in communication; books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.

Don't regret your life, child, it will pass soon enough.

It doesn't have to be like that but mostly it is.

I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.

I don't own my emotions unless I can think about them. I am not afraid of feeling but I am afraid of feeling unthinkingly. I don't want to drown. My head is my heart's lifebelt.

The journey is not linear, it is always back and forth, denying the calendar, the wrinkles and lines of the body.

True stories are the ones that lie open at the border, allowing a crossing, a further frontier. The final frontier is just science fiction--don't believe it. Like the universe, there is no end.
