Nothing is more repugnant to me than brotherly feelings grounded in the common baseness people see in one another.
From Milan Kundera
I am incapable of speaking of myself and of my life and the states of my soul, I am discreet to an almost pathological degree, and there is nothing I can do against that.
To be a writer does not mean to preach a truth, it means to discover a truth.

Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, historical accidents, soon forgotten.
A novel that does not uncover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novel's only morality.
Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.
There are no small parts. Only small actors.
No act is of itself either good or bad. Only its place in the order of things makes it good or bad.
Man's world is the planet of inexperience.
