“Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. I want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; I want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension.

Then I mend socks, prune trees, can fruits, polish furniture. But while I am doing this I feel I am not living.”
