What, I ask, drives me to disorder? How can I diagnose myself? All I feel, most immediately, is the most anguished need for physical love and mental companionship -

I was not looking for my dreams to interpret my life, but rather for my life to interpret my dreams.

The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects - making it possible... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.

It is the nature of aphoristic thinking to be always in a state of concluding; a bid to have the final word is inherent in all powerful phrase-making.

The easiest thing in the world for me is to pay attention.

I'm not interested in giving aid and comfort to the neo­-Conservatives.

Today everything exists to end in a photograph.
