I'm very gullible when it comes to my own words. I believe everything I say, though I know I am a liar.
I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.
I see all of us reading ourselves away from ourselves, straining in circles of light to find more light until the line of words becomes a trail of crumbs that we follow across a page of fresh snow
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in. As I walked, my mind was busy fitting what I saw with appropriate words; when I sat by the roadside, I would either read or a pencil...
I find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself.
