"Everything in the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born."
"It is because I dove into the abyss that I am beginning to love the abyss I am made of."
"Putting my hand in someone else’s has always been my definition of happiness. Before I fall asleep, often - in that small struggle not to lose consciousness and go into the greater world - often, before I get up the courage to go into the vastness of sleep, I pretend that someone has my hand in theirs, and then I go, go to that enormous absence of form that is sleep. And when even after that I don’t have courage, I dream."
"I only achieve simplicity with enormous effort"
"The only truth is that I live. Sincerely, I live. Who am I? Well, that's a bit much."
