“Beautiful writing becomes beautiful when it loses its harmony and has the desperate power of the ugly. And characters? I feel they are false when they exhibit clear coherence and I become passionate about them when they say one thing and do the opposite.”

“I would have liked to live that life, the one evoked by the mirror, or by Jacques's plate, a life without prospects, for the possibility of that life becoming a work of art would vanish through the mirror, would be a life with neither once upon a time, nor ever after, with neither surroundings nor horizons: just here and now—beautiful, full, enclosed.”

“The road to Damascus isn't as well marked as the road dedicated to revelation. It's a road like any other on which, slogging and sweating, we may by chance become aware of another possible way.”

“Men...they know what they are. They have an image of what they are. They never live up to the ideal, and it breaks them, and maybe that's why so many men die unhappy and before their time, but the know what being a grownup is supposed to mean. They have some kind of handle on thirty, forty, fifty. They don't hear that wind, or if they do, they find a lance and tilt at it, thinking it must be a windmill or some f*cking thing that needs knocking down. And what a woman does – what I did– was to run from becoming.”
