Im writing what comes into my head, or through me, or from somewhere else, and it is the most extraordinary, exciting thing. I love it, and Im very greedy, and I really enjoy it!

Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death; one more death of the heart.

It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself.

The dictate of the light says: Know yourself and what you are. The dark replies, By all means, but then become afraid.

Condemned and executioner with aren't coupled in a primitive rite.

I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.

I've been criticised for writing in too complex a manner for younger people.
