"There are only two plots in the world: the story of the journey and the story of the labyrinth."

"I have read almost everything, and I have found nothing new."

"There are some people who are born to be unhappy, and I am one of them."

"I have always been a man of doubts. I have always been a man of questions."

"I have always felt that one doesn't have to be a genius to be a good writer. One only has to be honest."
