“There are metaphors more real than the people who walk in the street. There are images tucked away in books that live more vividly than many men and women. There are phrases from literary works that have a positively human personality. There are passages from my own writing that chill me with fright, so distinctly do I feel them as people, so sharply outlined do they appear against the walls of my room, at night, in shadows... I've written sentences whose sound, read out loud or silently (impossible to hide their sound), can only be of something that acquired absolute exteriority and a full-fledged soul.”

“I loved you unconditionally — for you, not for anything else. I loved you without ever seeing you, without even hearing your voice. I loved you despite everything, and never grew tired. I loved you with complete honesty, as if you were my first… and last love. And yet, all of that was not enough. You were the punishment I deserved… as if love itself were my sin.”
