“La spécificité de la littérature, art majeur d'un Occident qui sous nos yeux se termine, n'est pourtant pas bien difficile à définir. Autant que la littérature, la musique peut déterminer un bouleversement, un renversement émotif, une tristesse ou une extase absolues ; autant que la littérature, la peinture peut générer un émerveillement, un regard neuf porté sur le monde.

Seule la littérature peut vous permettre d'entrer en contact avec l'esprit d'un mort, de manière plus directe, plus complète et plus profonde que ne le ferait même la conversation avec un ami”
Michel Houellebecq, Soumission

Chuck Palahniuk
“I write: All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters Remix

Paula Danziger
“When my father would yell at me, I told myself someday I'd use it in a book.”
Paula Danziger

Mao Zedong
“Make criticism in good time; don't get into the habit of criticizing only after the event.”
Mao Tse-tung, Selected Works

Haruki Murakami
“I still have that fear, even now—that suddenly my very existence will be denied and, through no fault of my own, I’ll be hurled into the night sea once more. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to form deep relationships with people. I always keep a distance between me and others.” He”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
