"The man who has not been able to make a name for himself in the world is not a man."

"The meaning of life is that it stops."

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

"The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or no eyes."

"So long as you have not experienced this: to die and so to grow, you are but a troubled guest on the dark earth."
