"The point is to strip down, get protestant, then even more naked. Walk over scorched bricks to find your own soul. Your heart a searching dog in the rubble."
"Professional Southerners sicken me."
"Literature is the history of the soul."
"Whoever you are, be that person with all your might. Time goes by faster than we thought. It is a thief so quiet. You must let yourself be loved and you must love, parts of you that never loved must open and love. You must announce yourself in all particulars so you can have yourself."
"What a bog and labyrinth the human essence is... We are all overbrained and overemotioned."
