Life is a very bad novelist. It is chaotic and ludicrous.

One of the best possible perspectives from which to tell a story is that of a ghost, someone who is dead but can still witness.

People only get married when they've no other option, out of panic or desperation or so as not to lose someone they couldn't bear to lose. It's always the most conventional things that contain the largest measure of madness.

Not to gain time, but maybe to lose it, to see it pass.

We lose everything because everything remains except us. And therefore any form of posterity may be an affront, and perhaps any memory, as well.

Illusions are important. What you foresee or what you remember can be as important as what really happens.

Superstition is just another form of thought like any other, a form that accentuates and regulates the association of ideas, it's an exacerbation, an illness, but, in fact, all thought is sickness, which is why no one ever thinks too much, at least most people do their best not to.
