It is true what Rimbaud said; If you think a book is strong enough, try it at the ocean, in the wind, at the waves. If the book can resist the ocean, then it exists. Otherwise, throw it away.

One should judge a man mainly from his depravities. Virtues can be faked. Depravities are real.

Where a beast would have claws, I was born with talent

I am not the Jesus of the official church tolerated by those in power. I am not your superstar.

I didn't choose solitude.

I don't need anybody to tell me how to be alive.

Whenever I was with a woman, I always sort of want another one. So there was always another one. I can't explain this, but it means that these women, they were not sharing my solitude.
