The man I am will always raise a protest against the man I wanted to be and the two will live together to the end, but the man I wanted to be will be the one on whom judgement will be passed.

A dish around which I see too many people doesn't tempt me.

I enter the world called real as one enters a mist.

Within ourselves is not very far and yet it is so far that one's whole life is not always long enough to get there.

The man I am will always raise a protest against the man I wanted to be and the two will live together to the end, but the man I wanted to be will be the one on whom judgement will be passed.

The secret is to write just anything, to dare to write just anything, because when you write just anything, you begin to say what is important.

I have always thought that by observing things with a great deal of attention you eventually wrest some of their secrets from them, making them utter what they would most like to keep to themselves.
