Dreams can be of value even if you don’t have an opportunity to turn them into reality Picture Quote #1

Some people give theirselves a certain number of white weeks once in a year, when they do not drink a single drop of alcohol. It is really wise. I myself have a few weeks per year, let us call them white or black, when I am not interested in the world around.

In those weeks of dissociation I seek for knowledge that lies within me Picture Quote #1

Poverty always looks the same, no matter where you come across it. The rich can always express their opulence by varying their lives. Different houses, clothes, cars. Or thoughts, dreams. But for the poor there is nothing but compulsory grayness, the only form of expression available to poverty Picture Quote #1

I know paradise has many gates, just as hell does. One has to learn to distinguish between them, or one is lost Picture Quote #1

Justice doesn’t only mean that the people who commit crime are punished. It also means that we can never give up seeking the truth Picture Quote #1

I do not understand how on earth you can become a writer without seeing the world Picture Quote #1

When someone asks me to list the 10 best novels ever written, I always refuse to answer Picture Quote #1

I am not afraid of dying. I have lived longer than most people in the world. What scares me is to have a body that works but a brain that is waving goodbye. If that happens, I hope I die quickly Picture Quote #1

Certainly, I know what it’s like to be obsessed. I haven’t always been there for my children. They could reach me, but I wasn’t always there. But, you know, that’s not necessarily anything to do with being a writer. I mean, a taxi driver could have the same problem... Maybe Picture Quote #1
