"The world is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived."

"We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and in others."

"One day, when I am no more, I will be remembered as a writer who loved the sun, and the sea, and the earth."

"The only way to deal with this world is to refuse to be reasonable."

"What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying."
