The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.

I don't believe in perfection. I think that's a very dangerous idea. It's a very unattainable idea.

The world is so beautiful and regretful, you and I are all lone travelers from afar, constantly walking, regardless of everything, crying, laughing, lingering in the world, just to make this trip worthwhile.

The writer must be a perpetual dissident.
