“I am not a lucky person, but I am a person blessed by God for what I have and I got.”

“I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.”

“I am always sad, I think. Perhaps this signifies that I am not sad at all, because sadness is something lower than your normal disposition, and I am always the same thing. Perhaps I am the only person in the world, then, who never becomes sad. Perhaps I am lucky.”

“I am not the type of person who wants to go back to the land I am the type who wants to got back to the hotel.”

“I am a person before I am anything else. I never say I am a writer. I never say I am an artist...I am a person who does those things.”

“When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.”
