Behind every glorious facade there is always hidden something ugly.

No one reads; if someone does read, he doesn't understand; if he understands, he immediately forgets.

Good books tell the truth, even when they're about things that never have been and never will be. They're truthful in a different way

I never read to kill time. Killing time is like killing someone's wife or a child. There is nothing more precious for me than time.

The war of good and evil present in all religions does not always end, in every faith, with the victory of good, but in every one it establishes a clear order of existence. The sacred as well as the profane rests on that universal order.

Either something is authentic or it is unauthentic, it is either false or true, make-believe or spontaneous life; yet here we are faced with a prevaricated truth and an authentic fake, hence a thing that is at once the truth and a lie.

I believe in no final solutions.
