“Obnavljati svoj život na svakih pet meseci, taman toliko koliko je jednoj razgranatoj i rascvetaloj laži potrebno da zaživi i da se potroši. Možda je to recept za besmrtnost?”

“Užasavaju me slike koje deluju kao da su odštampane, koje su lišene onog dragocenog milimetra treće dimenzije. I knjige bi bile zanimljivije kada ih ne bismo prekucavali i doterivali, kad bismo na njima mogli da vidimo mrlje mastila, ispravke, duge crne linije povučene preko slova, znakove uzvika i opasnosti, fusnote.”

“I am dead because I lack desire,
I lack desire because I think I possess,
I think I possess because I do not try to give,
In trying to give, you see that you have nothing,
Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself,
Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing,
Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become,
In desiring to become, you begin to live.”

“In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody. The essential substance of every thought and feeling remains incommunicable, locked up in the impenetrable strong-room of the individual soul and body. Our life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.”
