Mystical additions and subtractions always come out the way you want.

To read a paper book is another experience: you can do it on a ship, on the branch of a tree, on your bed, even if there is a blackout.

I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.

When the poet is in love, he is incapable of writing poetry on love. He has to write when he remembers that he was in love.

libraries are fascinating places: sometimes you feel you are under the canopy of a railway station, and when you read books about exotic places there's a feeling of travelling to distant lands

You always want someone to hate in order to feel justified in your own misery. Hatred is the true primordial passion. It is love that's abnormal. That is why Christ was killed: he spoke against nature. You don't love someone for your whole life - that impossible hope is the source of adultery, matricide, betrayal of friends ... But you can hate someone for your whole life - provided he's always there to keep your hatred alive. Hatred warms the heart.

Nothing can shake my belief that this world is the fruit of a dark god whose shadow I extend.
