"I always say that I am not a writer but a reader. I am a reader who writes. I read a lot, and I write very little. And I read everything."

"The universe is a contradiction."

"I have always been a skeptic."

"I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart, I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat."

"Don't talk to me about justice. I'm a man of letters, not a judge."
