Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.
From Vladimir Nabokov
To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.
Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man.
Some people, and I am one of them, hate happy ends. We feel cheated. Harm is the norm.
Discussion in class, which means letting twenty young blockheads and two cocky neurotics discuss something that neither their teacher nor they know.
I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.
Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece.
The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible.
The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.
I confess, I do not believe in time.
