I�m an egotist, but I�m not selfish. There�s a difference. I�m a neurotic, I guess. I can�t stop thinking about myself. It isn�t that I think myself so important... I simply can�t think about anything else, that�s all. If I could fall in love with a woman that might help some. But I can�t find a woman who interests me.
I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.
I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous man, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the man in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.
On Destiny: "Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today."
