“I never could bear the idea of anyone's expecting something from me. Italways made me want to do just the opposite.”
“But for me there is neither Monday nor Sunday: there are days which pass in disorder, and then, sudden lightning like this one. Nothing has changed and yet everything is different. I can't describe it, it's like the Nausea and yet it's just the opposite: at last an adventure happens to me and when I question myself I see that it happens that I am myself and that I am here; I am the one who splits in the night, I am as happy as the hero of a novel.”
“Everything has been figured out, except how to live.”
“You have to aspire to everything to have hopes of doing something.”
“I think that is the big danger in keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything.”
“Time is too large, it can't be filled up. Everything you plunge into it is stretched and disintegrates.”
