"I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in these bones."

"I can choose to be an animal, a plant, a stone, a star; it is all the same to me."

"What is the good of a book that does not transport you beyond all experience?"

"The only way to deal with the world is to be a part of it, to live in it, and to accept it as it is."

"I am afraid of my body, of my senses, of my thinking, of my dreams, of my writing, of my life, of my death."
