Being an agnostic means all things are possible, even God, even the Holy Trinity. This world is so strange that anything may happen, or may not happen. Being an agnostic makes me live in a larger, a more fantastic kind of world, almost uncanny. It makes me more tolerant.

A writer should have another lifetime to see if he's appreciated.

My advanced age has taught me the resignation of being Borges.

As the end approaches, there are no longer any images from memory - there are only words.

Imprecision is tolerable and verisimilar in literature, because we always tend towards it in life.

From my weakness, I drew strength that never left me.

Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.
