"There are some things one can only achieve by a crazy kind of playfulness."

"I am like a man who has built a house and then set fire to it."

"I am a child who has lost his way."

"I have not been able to write a single line for two months. My head is empty, my heart is empty, my soul is empty."

"Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy."
