I think that feeling that if one believed absolutely in any cause, then one must have the confidence, the self-certainty, to go through with that particular course of action.

I think I'm a very lazy writer and by that I mean that I do not battle, I don't struggle too hard against it. If I have difficulties in the writing, I just go and do other things. I don't feel a compulsion to write.

For me, a writer is already being the deuce of his mission, his occupation to society.

The man dies in all those that keep silent.

When a leader encourages the culture of impunity, the society is lost and it makes the work harder for the rest of us.

Mythology can be used, and has been used, even to re-state, you know, the very urgent problems of the world.

I am a very curious person; I'll always ask: is this thing true, is it not true? And I use my own means to investigate and come to my conclusion.
