Life is only lived full-time by women with children.

I have never waited for anything the way I've waited for today, when nothing will happen.

I know all one can know when one knows nothing.

I've forgotten the words with which to tell you. I knew them once, but I've forgotten them, and now I'm talking to you without them.

Words don't change their shape, they change their meaning, their function...They don't have a meaning of their own any more, they refer to other words that you don't know, that you've never read or heard...you've never seen their shape, but you feel...you suspect...they correspond to...an empty space inside you...or in the universe.

I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.

I acquired that drinker's face before I drank. Drink only confirmed it. The space for it existed in me.
