The silence of snow, thought the man sitting just behind the bus driver.

I believe that it isn't victories but defeats that promote nationalism.

Love is a sacred silence.

I need the pain of loneliness to make my imagination work.

I am a highly disciplined person. I get up at seven every morning and, still in my pajamas, sit down at my desk where my checkered ring binders and my fountain pen are ready for use. I try to write two pages every day.

Life is short, and we should respect every moment of it.

Try to discover who I am from my choice of words and colors, as attentive people like yourselves might examine footprints to catch a thief.
