People living deeply have no fear of death.
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it.
