Reading is more important than writing.

When I was done traveling, I returned convinced of one thing: we're nothing.

I'd obviously never heard of the group, but my ignorance in literary matters is to blame for that (every book in the world is out there waiting to be read by me).

If you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear.

There is a time for reciting poems and a time for fists.

As time goes by, as time goes by, the whip-crack of the years, the precipice of illusions, the ravine that swallows up all human endeavour except the struggle to survive.

Literature is the product of a strange rain of blood, sweat, semen, and tears.
