“If happiness is the absence of fever then I will never know happiness. For I am posessed by a fever for knowledge, experience and creation.”
“If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.”
“I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say.”
“I am too pure for you or anyone.From the poem "Fever 103°", 20 October 1962”
“I hoped my absence made them happy or at least made them forget that they weren't happy and never will be.”
“I find no importance in showing others that I am happy; it's not important to me that they know or think that I am happy but what is important to me is that I am happy. I am interested in being happy, not in making others think or know that I am.”
